  • I avoid buying concrete whenever I can…

    As for stuff shipped overseas I buy US stuff as much as possible. I’d love to buy a US built and sourced computer and phone but I just don’t think that’s possible.

    We avoid beef almost 100%, it’s hard to get goat but it’s my favorite when it’s available. My wife and I aren’t vegetarians but we’re pretty close.

    I’m not discounting what an individual can do but no amount of individual choice will change the system enough without pressure from the top. Either regulation or real competition, neither of which are on deck it seems.


  • Because it’s like pissing into the ocean and saying we’ve increased the water level. I mean technically yeah, but not really.

    The overwhelming issue is tankers, concrete, industrial plastics, methane from cattle and “natural” gas. Individual contribution from people barely shows up at all compared to these.
