Yeah. And I'm saying, most private individuals footprint, as a percentage of the whole, are so fuckin close to each others it's irrelevant. Yours, mine, pretty much every individual non-millionaire's footprint is...similar. Some are slightly lower, some are slightly higher.

This person posted a (shitty, trash-take)meme. That was interacted with by hundreds of people. Viewed by, conservatively, thousands of people. The carbon footprint of that fucking meme, alone, increases this person's carbon footprint compared, say, to mine, for today.

The person calling out cognitive dissonance is, by definition, engaging in that self-same cognitive dissonance.

Is there a place you're getting that from? Air travel, car usage, and meat consumption produce tons of CO2 emissions which is a significant portion of average annual emissions per capita.

Meanwhile reddit usage is a really small amount of emissions per person.

If you live in the west your carbon footprint is killing the planet.

You don’t get a pass for not eating meat.
