But it would be partly the lighters fault if it used up more power and water than most countries do.
No? A lighter is a tool, it has no agency and as such can not carry blame. You can argue that the fault lies partly in the lap of the lighter's creator, but not the lighter itself.
But isn't fossil fuel just a tool that generates power when ignited? Fossil fuels aren't inherently bad, just like the lighter isn't. But the fossil fuels are being used in an unbalanced way, driven by profit.
Fossil fuels aren't to blame, it's capitalism. But fossil girls are partly at fault here for sure
