I assume at least half of this needs to go down the throats of oil tycoons in order to have any real effect.

Oil isn't the problem, it's an amazing part of nature that has many uses, burning it is fucking stupid though.

It fucks me up that we have this limited substance that can produce an amazing material with so many extremely valuable uses for technology and medicine... And we burn most of it and use it to make disposable shopping bags.

Especially the shopping bags. We already had those. They worked fine. Why?
