Not to be that person, but my parents are completely incapable of comprehending this.
Not intellectually, but pragmatically and philosophically. They’re like 60 years old, and even if it affects them in their lifetime, they’ll be “dead in 20 years”.
And on a low level, they’re kind of right because most ordinary people aren’t to blame for this, so shaming “parents” makes no sense.
Shame the international petroleum conglomerates, plastic producers, shipping, etc. You know, the actual emitters in the billions of gigatons.
Weird, I’ve always told people “drive home safe” because of how many car accidents happen at night that are also lethal.
(I bicycle A LOT too BTW, this isn’t a dig. Cars just kill people all the time)
