Says the guy blaming the consumers. Isn't that a bit hypocritical?
So what do you propose? Not blaming anyone and just continue without solving the issue?
I believe we need to put the blame on the big pollutors and create policies reducing the amount of pollution. Like reducing lifestock, make devices repairable and stop companies from reducing the product life span to just over warrenty periods. Stop building AI data centers, make them pay tax which can be used for climate improving projects and highly restrict them from freely polluting ground water, among other things (I prefer them to close completely, but I'm afraid that's too much to ask for). There are so many ways to reduce pollution by focusing on the products instead of the consumers. The consumer has no say in whether their new washing machine only lives for 2 years and 2 months instead of 20 years, like they used to. Or whether their device is made with a replaceable battery, like they were before.
Waste and pollution starts with the companies forcing the consumers to consume more.
You talk about energy, water and packaging. Guess who uses most?
