On this Earth day, let’s all remember that industry and agriculture are substantially bigger polluters than residential sectors and the most impactful thing you as an individual can ultimately do is vote for representatives who will hold them accountable and who are vocal supporters of renewable energy. The way that environmental issues have been framed as an individual failing rather than the fault of enormous companies who cannot be trusted to self regulate is extremely insidious. Like by all means continue to make environmentally conscious decisions! But don’t forget that strong environmental protection laws championed by activists and politicians are the only reason we are where we are today.
