Lol Stop With This Propaganda Bullshit…

its simple, quit having kids. Just think of the carbon footprint of a kid that lives into his eighties.

Record vertically, and reduce your video consumption.

Avoid having more than 1 kid

Try 2 eat less 2.

Bullshit! When we lose a war it's because the military lost a war …. We're losing the fight against climate change because people like this think their efforts actually have impact when they're really just fulfilling her own narcissism and making it worse… The US, Spain & France reduced CO2 more than ever in history and resulted in – 0.001% overall while China, by far the worst offender, actually went up!… Buying more from US, French, Spanish companies, not Chinese, would do 1000xs more impact than this childish narcissistic bullshit!
