Or, since the term is so old it might be "merwere", the word "man" has only been used to describe male humans for a few hundred years, the medieval term being "were" as in werewolf.

To be fair your consumer habits are a huge factor in what these cooperations do. For example animal agriculture is seen as either the biggest (including transport) or at least a major contributor to climate change.
But switching to a plant-based diet is slightly inconvenient, so only few people do it.
Then people scream on Reddit how someone else should solve the problem.

And it sucks, because winter solstice is on 21st of december, which is the actual reason we celebrate christmas. Has been celebrated for thousands of years before Jesus came around. Would've been the perfect time to start the year. So make it 21st if anything.
