There is other more insidious trash that needs separating

It's my fault, I forgot to turn off the tap while brushing my teeth yesterday.

Sorry everyone.

I'm sorry I forget the source, but I once read something from a scientist that in your entire life, if you reuse/recycle/protect the environment,etc for your own single entire life, you will have starved off climate change for 1 whole second. Mind boggling to know your entire existence comes down to that litter of a difference. The point of what I remember reading was not that individuals are the problem, but that corporations and big industries were the worst offenders doing little to help change.

Just personal responsibility harder, it’ll happen if you try.

The trash bit is better solved by not buying stuff in the first place (reduce).

Personal emissions exist, but are small. They add up when multiplied by millions or billions.

You’ve taken some right steps, but there’s still s long way to go. Various industries, companies and individuals do what makes economic sense to them. Governments decide what makes sense and what doesn’t, but you can influence that by voting.

For example, many industries have used coal and gas, because it made economic sense at the time. Now that emissions trading is in place, using polluting energy sources is less and less appealing. The same sort of shift should take place in other areas as well, and politics is the way to get there. Climate change isn’t a technological problem as much as it’s a political one.

The company I work for uses gigantic barrels of oil to lubricate our AC motors. We're one company in North America out of thousands. There isn't anything you can do.

Lol, you made me laugh. Thanks
