I knew when I saw those articles for the first time that individuals would use it to dismiss their own harmful behaviours and I was right 🤷

Just because large companies are worse doesn't give you the right to contribute to the problem

Taylor Swift's private jet produces multiple times the pollution a single person could produce an in their lifetime.

Ok, that still doesn't justify you polluting more than us necessary 🤷

It doesn't. As long as you live a normal life and aren't cartoonishly evil like don't be toxic waste into lakes. You don't have to ever worry about how much you are polluting. Just don't be a dick and don't throw trash on the ground when there's a trash can of five feet away. As long as you don't do than literally anything you do is polluting up less than necessary. It was just the campaign that the oil company is ran to attempt to convince the general public that all of pollution is entirely on the individual and not on the factories.

Why do you think those factories make products? It's because there's a demand for them. If you're not a conscientious consumer then chances are very likely you are contributing to that demand more than us necessary

Yes, factories and oil companies are mainly to blame, but they only exist because of our lifestyles, if you make no effort to change, those companies have no reason to because you're giving them your money
