You've fallen to the propaganda that it's our faults and it's our responsibility to fix it. If you are being environmentally conscience, you're doing everything you can already. But until regulations are put on oil companies, car companies, food companies, fashion companies, etc to reduce their own carbon footprints by a significant amount, this will keep happening.

We get told not to buy plastic wrapped food from the supermarket. Okay....tell the food producers to stop wrapping them in plastic in the first place.

Buy a hybrid or electric vehicle. Okay, make them affordable and not cost so fucking much. Also work on reducing the carbon footprint to, you know, manufacture the fucking things.

They blame us for the issues. They created the issues. It's their fault, not ours. And until they take responsibility for it, it won't get better regardless what we do.

As for the 'vote' crowd. Look at the last ten years of elections we've had and tell me which one would have been the correct one to vote for to curtail and reverse the issues we're having. In Maine? none. None of them was the correct answer. Nationally? Bernie probably would have been the best choice, but then he'd also have to fight the combined might of congress and SCOTUS and good luck on that.

We're fucked. Pure and simple. The pleebs like us are stalks of grain in the path of the hurricane. Some of us might survive it, if we somehow learn to evolve and adapt to the new climate.
