It’s April and I am sweating like crazy, it fucking sucks, but it also got me wondering what can I do? There is so much conflicting advice out there, even if I tell others about this, when they ask for a solution what do I tell?

    Way to put the blame on China when all of the Occident delocalized production over there. Every rich country needs to change, and they also need to help emerging countries to develop sustainably too. We spent centuries destroying the environment for growth and now we’re on top, we can’t tell these countries not to do everything we did because it’s not sustainable.

    Agreed on the “not much you can do on an individual level” though. We need to change the way we consume and live but it’s peanuts compared to what needs to change for mega corpos and countries.

      Yeah, I’d like to see emissions attributed to the places where products end up, not where they’re produced.

        You can find data on recycling where “being shipped to another country to be recycled” counts as being recycled I believe. Also you can find estimates of historical emissions by country since the industrial revolution. China is the current leader of emissions but I believe the US is top of all time, closely followed by Europe. I’ll try to find some data when I have a moment.

        Edit: Historical emissions
