Your "carbon footprint" was invented by BP to try and take the responsibility off of corporations and put it on individuals.
ImAD0g
Hold the system that incentivises companies, that pollute, to exist accountable.
Donaldbain
Pretty sure throwing him out the window is littering. He can be composted.
thatiscomedygoldrightthere
The responsible parties have names and addresses.

Technically he did eliminated one carbon dioxide making organism.

100% recyclable tho
HamsterOnAGoat
what if we have a few execs spend 10 minutes picking up trash in a park for a photo op for the corporate website?
Buhbasaur
Are they dumping it all right back after the cameras are gone?
Leevalleyoftheshadowofdeath
They just throw it in the nearest body of water.

I feel like accountability in general is a thing of the past now.
Drakenborn
Don't be stupid, of course there is accountability. It is however, inversely proportionate to the size of your bank account.
Bystandr
Oh it can be the future with a little persuasion and a lot of action.

Can we please burn down Nestle
JierdanFirkraag
Impossible since they own all the water. They’ll just put it out. Might I recommend bulldozing it instead?
YangKoete
You'd release less carbon doing so than they do in a year.
DaLwkiz
I'd love to burn that shit hole down!
ThrowAwayAcct0000
I'll allow it.
ilovethatyoucanmakestupidlongusernamesonthissite
If you want to do real damage, vote with your wallet and buy healthy food. Nestle won't survive that, and no one goes to jail.
pizzapockets50
Nestle has stolen millions of gallons of water from CA and from countless others and no elected official on either side has done anything.

We as a species are responsible for pollution. You as an individual are probably not. Don't let corporate propaganda make you forget.
AncientSeraph
Individuals, corps, and governments all have their share of blame and responsibilities. Blame all, and do your own part as well.
insegrevious
No raindrop believes it is responsible for the flood.
grandestgrandeur
Exactly. They try to sell that its up to us normal folks. Meanwhile they have FAR more $ n influence and can do FAR more than any of us.
Ink41d0
Will never forget the day I realised the "Crying Indian" was actually corporations' effort to shift blame to the consumer; also CI = fake NA
xXxSTEVOxXx
Indiviuals who control polluting corporations are like "thats right im not blame! Neither are my predecessors! You heard em!"
HalstenTorqThorkelson
Hence I said probably ;-). Eat the fucking rich.
poscduke
If only we, as consumers had a choice to buy polluting products or from polluting companies
EverNotRelevant
It's not even the entire species, it's a handful of corporations and the rich. IIRC the top 10% responsible for 50% of lifestyle emissions.
Marokh
So technically it is the individual that is responsible. It's just that the rich individuals are way more responsible than the rest
imeanYUUUGE
Didn’t I see that private jet use during the pandemic increased, so even though commoners didn’t travel emissions stayed about the same?

Everyone is at fault. Some of us are just more at fault than others, like giant corporations
Kbantar
True, but it's not an issue of choosing to pollute or not, but by how much and in which way.
Simso5
Digimontana
There is no innocence, only varying degrees of guilt.
ndapp
And giant corporations are giant because enough individuals use them. Boycotting them is the easiest way to make change.
ndapp
Sadly for majority that isn't an option, they don't want to be inconvenienced when their individual efforts don't make a dent.

Blank1612
No, everyone is not at fault. Most of us have done so little towards this that it's entirely negligible compared to a single corporation 1/2
Blank1612
On the top 20 list. Pretending we're all at fault is exactly what those corporations like Exxon Mobil wants us to think.
