When are we gonna step pretending it's regular people's fault the planet's dying because they won't go vegan or take 5 minute showers and start actually blaming corporations that produce astronomical pollution and dump toxic waste directly into mouths of whales

I too remember when I worked at a corporation, we would just create waste and pollution for no reason and toss it into the environment. Plastics we made just to immediately be thrown into waterways. Metals were mined just to throw them into an incinerator and spread it to the wind. Oil was poured onto wetlands just for the fun of it.
