Remember when COVID finally got recognized and the instructions were to shelter in place unless absolutely needed for a few months? There was a noticeable drop in carbon emissions and increases in air quality across the board.
Everything kind of paused, a simultaneous drop in major demands across the board, and the world healed a little.
Do it again at just the low low cost of pushing more people around the world into extreme poverty than has ever happened in the history of the world? A world that primarily has countries that have zero social safety nets and largely operate exclusively on ruthless capitalist terms?
Like yeah covid was this magical time if you were a mostly well off (globally) westerner that got handed free money and unemployment checks. Thats not quite what it was for most people around the world or for anyone that was already out of work at the time.
But yeah some trees were happy smh
We need long term systemic change. Not whiplash bullshit that has permanent knock on effects
Trump and his coal cronies in action?

I haven’t stopped. I quit my last job because they ordered me to pollute to work while giving constant greenwashing bullshit.
