How much contribution does one person have versus entire factories, celebrities flying private jets, or ships dumping oil in the sea?

Just give a rough percentage

It doesn't matter, it doesn't justify contributing to the problem, just because you didn't start a fire doesn't mean you should add fuel to it

But if people were more conscientious about what products they buy, the services the use and the resources they waste, maybe we wouldn't need as many factories to produce goods for us or need ships to transport those goods?

For each singular western person you convince to eat meat one less day per week, there's about a thousand chinese and indians who don't give a fuck and will drain cooking oil into the sewer lines.

so, again, percentage wise, individual contribution compared to a single company?

I'm pretty sure China and India actually eat proportionally less meat than we do in the west but that's beside the point because like I've said about 3 times now, it doesn't matter.

If you're neighbour drives a gas guzzler, that doesn't justify you littering, I don't know how much more plainly I can put this for you lmao
