    Aww man you’re falling for their bullshit 😞

    The biggest impetus to change isn’t your personal consumer habits. It’s industry. And they want you to feel like YOU aren’t doing enough while they do jack shit except fuck over the rest of us every day so they can jerk each other off with their quarterly earnings reports.

    (I’m not saying we should all be rolling coal, that’s stupid and gross and childish. Just that we shouldn’t internalize anxiety about ‘doing enough’)

        Well, if you drive a hybrid, have you ever thought of where your electricity comes from? Probably a very inefficient coal or natural gas plant! Also, its not the gas gauge, its the engine heat gauge lol.

        Point is, don’t fret over your fossil fuel usage. Big corporations use more fossil fuels a day than you will ever use in your lifetime, even if you drive a fuel guzzling truck.

          No, I know where it comes from. The car’s internal combustion engine. Because that’s how hybrids work.

          My evs power comes from hydro and wind power, for which I pay a small extra fee for.

          My state just closed its last coal power plant last year!
