100% convinced our decedents will look back in this age and laugh 2 things : domestic recycling as an attempt to save the the planet , and the fact that we did nothing unless there was a profit in it.
Also I don't know about you, but my countries recycling relied on sending it all to China to burn.
dustsv hands yep my work here is done
Recycling is a lie to keep making plastic, nothing more
It's for profit
Ancestors?
It will probably be an alien species who will find a dead planet and wonder how and why so much toxic material was spread around the planet .... and also wonder why there is an orbiting space station filled with gold, paper money and the greyed out decaying bodies of a humanoid species.
Lol decedents !
Brother, you're close but the word is descendents lol

Brother, you're so close, but the word is descendants!

*Laughs until crying because he can't afford his own home, let alone afford to have and take care of children*
Lol .... will it matter in the end anyways?
I goofed and I'll take the fall .... also the spelling is DESCENDANTS ... thanks for pointing out my error
Humanity will survive the climate apocalypse. Life is incredible at adaptation. But our present society won't survive and our descendents will curse us for sitting idle while their future was sacrificed for the sale of lethargy.
I have my doubts about humanity's survival ... I think life, some form of life will continue on but us walking bipeds will either have an extremely hard time, or we just won't make it all.
who are "we"?
I'm not profiting, are you?
Those who already have all the money and power are, don't even let the focus slip from them.
I remember reading a fun fact: A single day (it might have even been an hour but let's err on the side of caution) of the bigger cruise ship engine use pumps out the same amount of pollution as all of the cars in Europe do combined for a while year.
Why on fuck do we bother with the small stuff when the big ones have such a huge weight on the problem.
One cruise ship has carbon emissions roughly equivalent to 12,000 cars. Maybe if you're specifically looking at sulphur oxide pollution, since modern cars emit so little of it. But there's a lot of other stuff coming out of tailpipes, sulphur oxide is just a single pollutant.
first one yeah, second one not so much i don't think
