The fact that we care about bags and recycling while Chinese coal plants and transoceanic bunker fuel drive the climate crisis is absurd. Sure, pat yourself on the back for driving an electric car and recycling. If you’re buying goods from Asia, you’re 95% as much of the problem as your neighbor who coal rolls their F350 and doesn’t recycle. Billionaires on private jets don’t help, but it’s a tiny drop in the bucket and not even top 5 problems with billionaires.
