You can't "buy less stuff" when the things we're talking about are necessities, often times food and critical supplies like fuel.
This isn't really an excuse in e.g. USA, which produces surpluses in both of these commodities.
- shakezula 5y agoThose surpluses are mostly exported, and besides that you're missing the forest for the trees. Individual action, even if completely efficient and pervasive, would not be enough to fix this problem.
- jessaustin 5y agoThat is a related but distinct point. Solidarity and collective action are required, but when we accomplish those we'll be able to just eat and burn what is produced domestically.
