Can’t tell if this is a joke or not but even if you’re going out of your way to avoid spending anything on oil-based products, you’re still going to give them money one way or another. They don’t say there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism for nothing.
please allow me to illustratte the steps: you buy food. the people who buy food, pay people to bring the food from the farm to the store. the people who transport the food pay for diesel. in the rare event the transportation is electric, the farm buys fertilizer that is either a fossil fuel product or transported with fossil fuels.
unless you grow your own food, all of it, your money is paying for oil once you get one or two transactions away from you. and this goes for pretty much every product out there, unfortunately.
You forgot to mention that even in the cases of electric, the electricity is mostly generated by by burning non-renewables, including coal.
I live in one of the few places where electricity generation from renewables surpasses the use of hydrocarbons.
Then you can consider me jealous.
true for most places but ~~it~~ [I dammit] didn't want to make that assumption. we get to paying for fossil fuels pretty easy just ignoring that.
it's too late, your pronoun is "it" now
technically it's them. not nonbinary them, plural them.
you're plural???
yeah
!!!!
me too!!
no way! that's cool. I have no idea how many of us there are.
me neither! i'm guessing i'm around... ~3?
Oh I meant like, in total around the world. The other 7 I used to know have passed on. I've got 2, possibly 3 in me. Only 2 of us have voices as yet.
