When I was in elementary school, the cafeteria switched to disposable plastic trays because the paper ones hurt trees. Stupid, I know... but are today's initiatives any better?

Whatever is being done, it isn't enough. Lots of countries are lying about their carbon emissions and it's basically the worst it's ever been. Quick intro video

If a large percentage of people can't even utilize resuable bags for their groceries we're already screwed. So much apathy and people not really committed to take even the smallest of steps to help our environment.

If Captain Planet was real, he would be extremely disappointed with all of us.

On a note, what the heck was up with "heart"? You got these 4 badass elemental powers coming together to form this awesome super hero and then just...heart? Never sat right with me when I was a kid.

Only to realise it's the most busted ability of the bunch when you grow up.

Mind control beats everyone

Planetina from Rick and Morty would just straight up murder the biggest offenders.

Play nice in this thread. It's a touchy subject.
