Unless you have a private jet your spending habits can’t possibly make a difference.
The only way to make a real change would be to correct the incentives. This can be done via legislation & policy but an individual can’t do it alone. I suppose an individual could change the incentives for one or two companies (e.g. violence against a decision maker) but it wouldn’t change the economics of doing business.
- myshpa 4y agoCollective change in spending habits can have the power. We're seeing it with rise of veganism & meat/dairy, those producers are very concerned (pushing against naming plant-based foods milk/burgers etc.). I agree that legislation & policy & subsidies are critical. But this change won't come without support of the public. It seems to me, that if you want to change something, you have to change yourself first. We can't just wait for somebody to change it. It won't ever happen this way. People have to know & do, then politicians cannot pretend not to know/care and then the change will happen.

- myshpa 4y agoWhat would the logical thing to do be then? Do nothing, or remove the few?
