Because it's mindless propaganda, just like not driving your cars if every Canadian dropped dead tomorrow it would not reduce world wide pollution by 1/2%. If you want to have an effect on world wide pollution go after shipping it;s is by far the dirtiest industry there is way worse then even coal fire generators. So quit picking the low hanging fruit(or steak) and if you want to make a real difference instead of this feel good garbage you all love go after them.
I don't get that viewpoint at all. Perhaps you could enlighten me? The only people who try and rationalize that way of thinking obviously have a stake (steak?) in the game, whether it's professionally or personally. I have neither so I can see the bullshit as it is. The fact of the matter is it's not "low hanging fruit" as you call it. Do some research and you'll see for yourself.
Like I stated, I'm not a vegetarian, but go ahead and label me one if you feel comfortable doing so. I don't care. I'm sure as hell not jaded by personal choices.
Using that way of thinking, then why don't we throw our own personal garbage on the ground? Why don't we just idle our cars more often? Why not just dump used motor oil in the sewer? In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter right?
Next time I'm riding on Fromme, I'm going to take as much garbage as I can pack and dump it in the forest. It's not going to matter to anybody. If someone says something, I'll just bury it. No one will ever know.
