    I don’t know; reducing the carbon footprint counts for a lot in my book. The SAD diet is responsible for quite a bit. Seems like fairly low-hanging fruit to cut things in half just with a sensible dietary change, especially give it is better for you as well.

      Why is it that the governments get to dictate what the fuck I eat and how much of it?

      Why is it that government mandated recycling programs have done fuck all to change the massive amount of plastic pollution?

      The entire carbon credits financial system is a total scam. Every company can buy and sell carbon credits between each other, yet regular consumers just get a hard limit.

      A better solution would be keeping accountable the producers of carbon and pollution and plastic and making them pay for it, not letting them buy and sell carbon pollution credits return in exchange for tax credits. But that’s never gonna happen because the politicians and lobbying firms are all paid by giant corporations, To continuing conflict of interest no matter what part of the world you’re in.
