Mother among 20 of the big cats flown in from Africa as part of plan to reintroduce animal to country
As someone from Germany my toes curl everytime someone blames “the elite” - that’s a very dangerous road of thinking to go down…
Those 0,1% don’t matter if the 99,9% don’t slow down their emmisions, too.
Everyone cutting down a little bit is helping A LOT more that the richest 0,1% cutting down most. Sure they pollute a lot more than your average person so they totally should cut down but imho it’s mostly about creating acceptance than about the pure emissions.
While I get your point, it’s those same people who can actually make the change needed. They can stop with their super yachts and support yachts and helicopters and private planes and million dollar cars as disposable playthings and mega mansions they spend a month in a year. They can make the companies they control become greener. You or I could only do so much.
Voting with your wallet totally works though.
The biggest meat-replacement producer in Germany right now is a company that until 20 years ago only produced meat products. I think it was 2 years ago that they made more profit with their replacements and are projected to stop producing meat altogether in the next 2 decades because of how many people bought their replacements and how they don’t need the meat anymore to survive
It only works when the alternatives are at a similar price. I can’t vote with my wallet when I can’t afford the alternatives.
