I hate articles like this. A vegan shopping bag toting, straw refusing person is not going to do jack for the #ClimateCrisis

Instead of writing about actual solutions to #ClimateBreakdown like going after oil producers, pointlessly large car manufacturers, fast fashion, or Amazon. The tail wagging writers doing the billionaires bidding has once again pinned the problem on you, the consumer with no agency except to pick one brand of potato chip over the other in a desperate attempt to reduce your plastic by micro grams while Bezos has bridges removed so he can float his yacht out to sea.

#MediaIsComplicit in #ClimateChange from doing Exxon's climate denial bidding back in the day to obfuscating the real problem now.

Earth Day: How one grocery shopper takes steps to avoid 'pointless plastic'

Nature wraps bananas and oranges in peels. But in some modern supermarkets, they're bagged or wrapped in plastic too.

It's a shame to see NZ swing crazy right.

At one point we thought NZ might be an English speaking place we could potentially escape to.

There really isn't a country on Earth trying to prevent the mass deaths of millions of people, is there?

Every country seems hellbent on accelerating our mutual demise. This isn't a theoretical possibility anymore. The only question remains is where pockets of humanity will survive and how many of us will be left. We can only hope the survivors decide to eat the rich first.

New Zealand plans to put big developments before the environment. That’s dangerous

Proposed ‘fast-track’ law could see conservation concerns ignored and projects once rejected for environmental reasons given the green light

Sigh

#ClimateBreakdown is happening to us. We are suffering floods, fires, and in some parts famine.

Why? Because our leaders can't stand up to big oil. Because our fellow citizens won't give up convenience or big cars and endless fancy clothes.

I am not sure how many people understand that many people will die. This isn't a theoretical possibility anymore. This is already happening. Entire towns, even in rich nations are getting burnt to the ground.

Our billionaire owned media just doesn't attribute it to #ClimateCrisis. Instead they publish endless stories about phantom arsonists so you keep driving your SUV.
