Fucking consumer brain. Buy local, go nuclear. It's that easy. Maybe you've already forgotten how much the air quality around the globe improved when covid hit.

God knows you can't image a world without your drop shipped temu shit.

    Awe, what's wrong? Did I challenge your world view? You're literally unable to give up anything so you resort to attacking people who live more sustainable lives than you? Yeah I'm using a device that was manufactured, but I never buy new.

    I buy local, my home is powered by nuclear energy, I use recycled electrons, and I always buy second hand.

    But you couldn't image a world where people reject consumerism. You're so consumer brained you couldn't image there's a way to ethically exist in the modern world.

    So instead of insulting me on my success, how about you tell me why you can't do the same?

    You got a local, organic, sustainable, handmade phone or PC? Do you live in a cave? Do you only hunt and grow your own food?

    I don't think they proposed an all or nothing attitude. We as individuals can do "something".

    It's reduce, reuse and recycle.

    Like the one you're replying to, my phone is a 6 years old flagship, bought it 3 years ago similar case with most of my electronics, I bought it used.

    Got pretty old solar panel, little battery but meaningful capacity.

    I'm no vegan but since I'm SEA-an majority of my diet is plant based anyway. And it's not enough to fully sustain myself but I do grow a few kitchen staple.

    Use public transport, if none available then vote for whoever proposed it.

    I know it's a drop in the bucket in grand scheme of things. But that's the extent me as normal individual can do and I'm content.
