Nah, with people who can produce 10's-100's more pollution per person than others, making an individual choice to do better makes little difference. Certainly learning to make small choices in the right direction (stop denying loc

This is a hyper regional statement. Where I live, you'd be considered a weirdo for carrying that sentiment. Drive an hour away, and the statement could be considered a lot of credence. All we can do is make the right choices for oursel

Meta is a nameless holding company that stands for nothing. Facebook is a dieing platform that GenX & boomers may still use. At least they seem to have the clue that hitching your company name to a dead platform is a bad business strate

Asa Canadian, I can safely say that any other country's news coverage would be better than the cesspool of US news would be on the table. This isn't a one way street either. Entrenched big tech use news and any other carrot to kee

Maybe in your country. In mine (Canada) even fixed rate mortgages are rarely locked in beyond 5 years, so every mortgage holder will be getting a notable bump in costs in the next few years if rates don't moderate again. In many cases,
