Showroom7561 ( @Showroom7561@lemmy.ca ) 68•6 months agoThis infuriates me.
I would actually love to do more to REDUCE my carbon footprint, but it’s prohibitively expensive to.
But billionaires (and millionaires) can literally greenify every aspect of their lives, even be carbon-neutral or carbon negative! But they choose not to.
I think taxing the rich just isn’t enough. We need to CAP the rich. There should be no billionaires.

Sounds good. dubyakay ( @dubyakay@lemmy.ca ) 1•6 months agoCap them in their knees.
Please don’t use this as an excuse for. “It doesn’t matter how much I emit then”.
Use this as motivation for grassroots and political action aiming to stop the concept of billionaire from existing.
Zoop ( @Zoop@beehaw.org ) 7•6 months agoFuck yeah! You get it.
I’m glad you addressed this. As soon as I read the title of the post, I knew there would be people who use it as an excuse not to try to do what they can to reduce their negative affects. Which is so incredibly frustrating. Every! Little! Bit! Counts!
morrowind ( @morrowind@lemmy.ml ) 4•6 months agoAlso I doubt anyone in this comment section is average.
The average sits somewhere between us and the all the people in third world country who emit practically no carbon pollution

Nik282000 ( @nik282000@lemmy.ca ) 5•6 months agoThere are no innocent millionaires. The threshold of wealth that requires some seriously unethical behaviour is pretty low.

Zement ( @Zementid@feddit.nl ) 7•6 months agoOf course… Work hard, breath hard… A million times harder than you or me, based on income… /s
some_guy ( @some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org ) 4•6 months agoAt some point, things are gonna get bad enough that the masses will turn on them. That’s why they’re all buying islands and building bunkers. We should do it now, while it can make a difference.
RamblingPanda ( @RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com ) 3•6 months agoDon’t worry, I got this. I went to the shop by foot today instead of driving.
Default_Defect ( @Default_Defect@midwest.social ) English3•6 months agoBut I’m the asshole for not using the public transportation my city doesn’t have. Anyway, I need to get to the grocery store I should start walking now so I can be there before it closes in 2 hours.
