Japan is probably the cleanest country I’ve ever been to and you rarely see a bin on the street. Easily accessible bins promote carelessness with the trash you produce. If there are no bins you need to think ahead and plan how you’ll dispose of your trash.

It already is. The doubt is when will it “sell voluntarily” Siberia to China.

No, not all cars are created equally. Some require much more public space and some are also much more efficient at killing.

Try dieting and exercise, getting a monster truck won’t help you.

That’s clearly a residential area if someone would hit their cars it would happen either way… you’re supposed to drive slowly there.

Exactly. I was in Sweden recently and it’s opressive how difficult it is to use cash. For everything it’s only card or apps, I didn’t even bother to get any local cash. But I had a few SEK from years ago and I couldn’t use them.

In Portugal is not on the constitution but it’s law, a business cannot force the client to pay by other means if the client has enough cash to make the payment for payments under 3000€ (above this you actually can’t pay cash by the same law :P).

So you want to dismantle the west, that is the most functional, equal and free region of the world and only then go after the “smaller threats” (that is f* Russia with its second biggest nuclear arsenal in the world, currently involved in a genocidal war to increase its territory, besides all the side conflicts from Syria to Niger). Just wow at your total delusion, that’s what speaking from a point of privilege is.

Businesses do lots of waste, I agree. But again, businesses exist because they have customers. Some people seem to believe that the climate crisis can be solved with taxes alone, but that’s not how it works. Huge changes on all levels are required.

How do you think those companies pollute? Are they burning fuel at Shell’s headquarters? Or do they have lots of customers who think their personal behavior doesn’t matter?

No you can’t. How do you think those corporations pollute? Do they do it for fun or because they have customers that feed their businesses? The idea that “heading corporations responsible” will magically solve all problems and that it doesn’t imply any change in your lifestyle is beyond naive. Shell pollutes because people buy and burn their fuel, they’re not burning it in their headquarters.
