I found the whole thing so depressing from an environmental perspective. A completely pointless and manufactured hype cycle to push something with no utility whatsoever. Now some factories in China are pumping out labubu clones that will end up in the bargain bin of a dollar store.
It makes any effort to reduce my environmental footprint feel so pointless. Why even bother?
- Tarsul 11mo agoDon't do it for the world. Do it for your own clear conscience. That way you can always say to yourself: At least I did my part (even though it's clear everyone can do more, but perfectionism doesn't help either. Personally I am content if my climate impact is better than 70-80% of my cohort.).
