I shouldn't be made to feel guilty for living my life in this hellscape that were forced to live in. I'm not going to inconvenience myself and make own life harder while the elite fly around in private jets and are more wasteful in a day than I could ever be in my entire life. I care about the environment and want things to change, but I'm not the problem. And if you are trying to make the common person bare the guilt for climate change, you're part of the problem. I do what I can when I can. But to inconvenience myself or spend more of what little money I have to make a negligible difference compared to what a corporation or a single billionaire could do is not gonna happen. Simple as that.

I don't mean this in a sort of "gotcha" way, but why shouldn't those things be public on this sort of platform? That seems like the bare minimum for a community to prosper
