As you make more and more money it is easy to just keep purchasing, and then yelling from soap boxes how no one has the will to save the environment.

- cableshaft 3y agoYep, and I admit I'm part of the problem. I'm not really sure how to break the addiction myself, I haven't even worried about any of this until the past few years, and I've been a fan of technology my whole life, buying video games and consoles and computers and other tech since I was 8 years old.

- wahnfrieden 3y agoyou believe the solution is on the consumption side, not the production side? interesting
- thefaux 3y agoHow is this an either/or question? Does consumption not influence production and vice versa?
- wahnfrieden 3y agothey are related yes. but if it happens that the vast majority of influence over it is on the production side, the consumption side only matters insofar as it's able to change production which may be a distraction to focus on individual consumer green-purchasing if that's not actually a great way of influencing production behaviors. It ends up as a "personal garden" approach to ecology, keeping us occupied doing what we can in our personal lifestyles and evaluating/influencing our neighbors within our proximity. so then what force drives necessary change on the production side?
