Still using marketing to make the green options more expensive when, without the oil subsidies, the green options would be cheaper.
Then telling us it’s our fault while the gap between the rich and the poor continues to grow.
Who is telling that it’s our fault?
Governments and corporations. Not directly, but in how it’s up to us to sort our garbage and sacrifice the thing that used to be conveniences but we’ve now all come to rely on. (Driving, furnaces, hot water heaters, etc)
Wouldn’t it be so much easier to stop these issues at the source?
I don’t remember asking for every single item I buy to be wrapped in plastic, but they do it anyway. Instead of me having to put in the work to find options that aren’t wrapped in plastic, how about we tell the corporations to cut it out?
“Voting with your dollar” doesn’t work when every single option for the necessities of life has the same issues.
Unwrap every item you buy at the store that's wrapped in plastic and leave the wrappers on the counter. Hopefully others will catch on and follow your lead.
Huh .. not a bad idea
