EVs for you and me aren't going to fix global warming
Not even close. This is "turn off lights when you leave the room and don't use plastic straws" level posturing.
While not the biggest contribute to climate change and pollution it's still important for an individual to take as little from the environment and respect it leaving it cleaner then you found it. Turning out the lights and not using plastic straws is like an environmental shopping cart test.
Of course. It doesn't hurt anything and makes good financial sense too. I'm just sick of being told it's the way to stop.climate change by entities that produce exponentially more carbon emissions than I do.
You had me until you compared it to a job someone is paid to do. Nobody is paid to turn off my lights or spit liquid into my mouth.
I think you replied to the wrong comment, if you need some kind of payment to do the right thing for your environment idk what to tell you.
You compared it to shopping cart collection, and I am from the United States, where people are paid at most grocery and big box stores to do that. Nobody is paid to spit liquid into my mouth, which makes shopping cart collection different from a straw.
I don't think you understand the shopping cart test
Of course I do, it's not an advanced concept
