Opinion: You Are Not the Problem — Climate Guilt is a Marketing Strategy
(news.climate.columbia.edu)
We should feel guilty, but not exclusively. This is just swinging from one extrem to another. Our lifestyle choices have a huge effect on the climate and our emissions. Especially our eating habits & how we move around. But also exporting our emissions to other countries is kinda greenwashing our own emissions. Everyone blames the big corporations, but ends up using whatever they produce. Their emissions aren't coming from nowhere, they're there to fulfill a demand. People need to stop pretending they cannot do anything just to feel better about themselves, especially when they throw their weekly or even daily steak onto the platter, drive their fat ass SUV or even truck or whatever other city tank they have, and then go shopping at Alibaba while voting for non climate friendly parties, presidents, ministers, etc. that actually bring change.
If you're actually serious about this topic, do your part AND hold companies accountable. Vote for actual green parties and politicians. Don't point fingers to continue living a bad lifestyle, that's the same thing the climate denying boomers do.
