These countries and organizations are destroying the world on our behalf. We like what they do, we buy their products, and we accept it all because it’s more convenient, tasty, or otherwise makes our lives better.
We need to do both personal and societal responsibility. We need to stop the pollution at the source AND we need to accept what that means. Stopping agricultural waste for example will mean things like expensive meat, less meat, more ugly looking vegetables, eating more plants. Otherwise it won’t happen. There’s no dream scenario where we stop the environmental destruction from an environmentally destructive thing and yet we still keep the thing.
