      I get this comment a lot. A way to make yourself feel better? I know who you going to blame next, the big corps? Remember who they selling to. You! So yes, consumers are to blame. When Joe wants a bigger truck when he can get a prius or take the public transit, guess who’s to blame? Fighting climate change is all about inconvenience. Yall can’t handle the inconvenience and cost of a greener lifestyle. It’s much more convince to blame the government, the big corps, and the rich.

        Consumers are partially to blame but remember corporations brainwash the living shit out of people. They’ve effectively stomped out the last bit of hope we had. Go to any YouTube video that mentions a “heat wave” and you’ll see what I’m talking about in the comment section.

      The consumers are who these companies sell to. The normal people drive cars, buy plastic, eat meat and dairy, produce unnecessary waste. Of course consumers have a huge responsibility in this.
