ecofreak - part 2
They have zero idea that the natural cycle of Earth's climate has resulted in several millennia-long Ice Ages and without global warming, those Ice Ages would resume and half the world will look like Greenland.
They have zero idea that 71% of ALL carbon emissions globally are created by only 100 companies mainly based in China and India (with a similar number for microplastics in the ocean), and when confronted with this fact, they merely parrot 'we can still do all we can to save the planet individually'.
Even when fixated on valid issues such as bio-reusability, deforestation, and microplastics, they take things to an extreme such as only buying brands that use 100% recycled materials, separating glass from paper from plastic when recycling, using only metal or paper straws, using the same reusable paper bag when shopping, and exclusively voting for a Green party irrespective of its economic or sociopolitical viability, as long as it 'saves the environment'.
