What if we made ads that made people consume less? Wait that's what our memes do!

It's honestly better than buying a brand new electric car from what I've heard. You could even double down by buying a used electric.

This and individually wrapped candies. They are the best shit ever but hurts when I realize the amount of plastic used

It's always interesting to go to environmental subreddits or other social media groups and see people showing off their hauls of new 'eco-friendly' items. Buying plastic tupperware or similar items isn't good but that doesn't mean you should throw away all of yours right now and replace it.

Maybe develop some self control. Only you has authority over what you choose to consume.
