Lol keep going, keep going! What happens when there are fewer landlords?

Incredible, right?! Telling them you’re moving internationally speeds up account cancelation, but they’ll still keep you on the phone for like ten minutes!

When you cancel your Comcast, telling them you’re moving internationally ends things much faster than saying you’re switching providers.

This is almost exactly what the article says doesn’t work. We’ve been laying the bulk of the responsibility on average consumers–figure out your consumption, find better options–before insisting that corporations make better options available for consumers.

So, why not try putting some of the responsibility on the largest polluters first for a change? Jail or prison time instead of fines for the decision makers knowingly contaminating environments because it’s cheaper than doing things right, high corporate taxes to fund environmental remediation for the damage already done, penalties for continuing to produce goods in wasteful and unnecessary plastic packaging, incentives for work towards innovative, environmentally sound materials science and engineering. We haven’t tried any of these things, we’ve just been telling consumers, “There are better options out there, use those. It’s your responsibility!”

Like geez, it’s not as if consumers will stop bringing their own bags to the grocery store or using the reusable straws they already bought. Lots of us are already invested in doing better than we have in the past. We can continue to educate the public while also updating our legislation to drive corporate participation in the process. Why wouldn’t we?

Anybody else weirded out by the terrestrial shrimp? Hahaha if they’re on land, do they count as bugs-akin-to-roaches or food-source-like-aquatic shrimp?!

Parents in the '90s yelled about how their kids shouldn’t be saddled with the stress of the impending climate catastrophe in school.

“Let our kids be kids! They don’t need the stress of adult problems!” they said, AND THEN DID FUCKING NOTHING FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS.
