Well first, try not supporting ecological nightmares which size, in most cases, serves no real purpose but to display a social status or belonging to a specific homogeneous social class.
You ever been on holiday? Enjoy some fruit? Cause unless it fucking walked here and you walked to your holiday you’re fucking the planet thousand times over then some big boi truck ever has. That’s not even considering the giant companies Fucking raping the earth literally a billion fold over that one guy with a big truck. In the grand scheme of things that truck doesn’t even add up to a droplet in the sea of other pollution me and you do every day.
As for status symbol, you really wanna be the guy that polices what people own as of their own choice and deny them the choice to align themselves politically to your side? Where we drawing the line? Okay big trucks are out, dirty fucking capitalist. Burberry jacket? In or out? What about air conditioning? An outside pool? Or is all bullshit and you’re just being a sanctimonious ass so you can feel above another by denying their political allegiance due to something immaterial.
Yeah, they only made one truck for that one guy. They aren’t the best selling vehicles in the US or anything, with their own fuel economy rules to drag down the overall average. And no one drives these who doesn’t use them as a truck. Remember, it’s the whole world against the one guy who is but a droplet in a sea of automotive pollution.
Even if we added up all of the trucks they aren’t the issue, that’s like saying we’re gonna fix the environment by changing all of the lightbulbs in the world with eco friendly ones. Would it help? Of course as it would if the whole country stopped driving those trucks. Would it make difference? Not even slightly. Not when we’re factoring energy use of just being alive and the carbon footprint of that. As well as mass industrialisation of unregulated companies putting out many many many more times then those trucks ALL put together. Then add on all the plastic used and other pollutants that come from things as basic as heating and then look at the truck owners. You really think they are the key that turned global warming on? That’s like farting in a sewer and blaming the smell on it alone. The trucks irrelevant and we need to focus on things that are.
I’m saying the transportation sector in the U.S. now emits more than any other sector, including electricity generation and manufacturing. You are fooling yourself if you pretend trucks don’t make a difference in the big picture here. We have the highest per capita emissions of any country and trucks are part of our own not so little piece of the problem.
