Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yeah that is the thing. Even if everyone did what you were doing, the main pollution is still not coming from people but large companies and the like. It's like recycling. Make your life shittier but nothing really changes. Your life just sucks and you feel better about the environment even though no noticeable change happens but you did your part.
Those companies polluting are making products that people are buying, they don't just pollute for the hell of it. If everyone actually changed their buying habits these companies (and most of the global economy) would collapse.
But how am i able to stop people from buying boxes full of random shit from shein and amazon? That is the problem. I have no impact on other peoples spending choices.
Take for example video games. I don't preorder and i don't buy microtransactions. Vote with your wallet right? But then there are people spending all their money on it and it just gets worse.
The only thing i can think of that i can have a tiny impact on is being vegan. Cooking vegan for people so they see its tasty and hopefully they replace their meat based dinner with a vegan one every few days.
But besides that i don't know what to do to stop people from feeding bad things in the world.
You can't, and that's irrelevant to what I was responding to.
Spot on...
Time for Eco-sabotage to become mainstream.
