YSK that doing nothing because a corporation is worse isn’t going to fix this mess and your own lifestyle is still unsustainable if you live a typical western lifestyle.
Also if you just wanted to do a little better using this chart you could replace with bacon. Surely even the most meat obsessed individual can manage that?

Corporations are not ‘worse’.
They are the bulk of the problem.
They will do absolutely nothing about that since they can’t be touched for the holy profits of consumerism and the fanatic fixation on continuous growth of capitalism.
I refuse out of principle and I feel zero guilt. Those fingerpointers can fuck off.
They tax us suckers anyway for all the bad bad things we do to live.
And that money they can give to corporations or buy more carbon credits to polute more.
You can feel better and it may be good for your conscience but it’s like you’re un a bus driving down a cliff and your contribution is putting your foot on the road to slow it down.

And who is buying things from the corporations, keeping them in business? You can’t just absolve yourself of guilt by saying Ford are responsible for the emissions of your new F150.
Sure, some people do make a bit of change, but plenty don’t. This is also a large part of the problem.

F150 right. Ridiculous exaggerations.
Let’s see how you do buying nothing from corporations.
Really you need a job at BP or some chemical multinational.
You’re already doing their work.
