@stapper @uint8_t @researchfairy every little bit helps, but also it can never help enough.

I've never flown anywhere in my life. I don't drive a huge car. Most of my food is from eco-friendly farming. My clothes are mostly second-hand.

If the entire population behaved like me, a dozen billionnaires going on a fifth vacation per year would cancel it all out.

All of our collective "carbon footprints" are smaller than the big toe of billionnaires' carbon footprints.

In other words: if billionnaires and mega corporations stopped pproducing garbage nobody needs, putting AI into everything, using their private jets to fly from the bedroom to the bathroom, and stopped gathering and processing unthinkable amounts of user data, stopped running countless data centers to show us advertisements, the rest of us wouldn't need to live like ascetics.
