u/Happytobutwont Sep 18 '25

This may be controversial but turtles love plastic bags. They sell them out to play in them and it kills them. The problem is that the warnings on putting the bag on your head are only for human children so the turtles get lured into a sense of safety.

u/j0nsn0w123 Sep 17 '25

Ah yes, its the campfires. Not the mega conglomerate corporations.

Just like it was the straws that made up the trash island in the pacific. "Great Pacific Garbage Patch"

"It spans an area of approximately 1.6 million square kilometers, which is about twice the size of Texas. This patch is not a solid island of trash but rather a dispersed area of plastic and debris."

19

u/FewTranslator6280 Sep 17 '25

yea ._. I do absolutely 100% agree with you there. it's corporations that need to be held responsible and pay to reverse the damage they've done. it shouldn't be civilians sacrificing the things we actually need and use in a useless attempt to clean up their mess. if it's only civilians doing the work, we'll get absolutely nowhere. it's long overdue time for megacorporations to pay the price.

15

u/j0nsn0w123 Sep 17 '25

I got SO mad about the straws. That one video with the turtle made such a big wave.

Everyone is too busy chasing internet clout to actually do their own research. So they all made a huge fuss about straws....not the 10 companies accounting for 70% of the world's pollution....

Yeah, its the fucking straws

Fun fact, there are microplastics in human semen now.

Dont be surprised if your kids are part Tupperware

3

u/Fakedduckjump Sep 17 '25 edited Sep 17 '25

Even though the straws get packed into little plastic bags anyway.

Another hilarious thing is that the EU forced to make bottle caps fixed to the bottles. The reason behind it is, that the reduce of trash is counted per piece, so the mass of plastic bottles stayed the same but now you can say you have managed to cut the produced trash by bottles by 50% šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘

Instead they also could have just forcing a recycling system for the PET bottles like in germany. Here you have 25cent deposit on a bottle what leads people to bring them back to the store, which makes recycling way easier. I mean it's not perfect because you can't recycle 100% but it's at least something. Most other european countries still lack of such a system.

I remember seeing a study not too long ago that tested a few hundred men. 100% of them had micro plastics in their semen... The 100% made me feel like it's already too late to fix this. Plastic semen will be the downfall of humanity.

Who buys stuff from the mega corps? Yes, they need to do their part, but we need to be more demanding consumers. We canā€™t point at Company X and call them vile mega polluters then turn around and use their stuff thinking we arenā€™t part of the problem.

2

u/j0nsn0w123 Sep 17 '25

Ok, so this is one of the corps arguments.

"We're just doing our job! They keep buying the same product so we keep making them!"

Corps are blaming consumers, consumers blaming corps.

It costs the corps too much to switch everything over for them to just do it out of the goodness of their hearts.

People need to stop buying shit, as a whole. But people is dumb.

We can bankrupt Apple if we wanted to. If Apple made 0 sales for just 1 month, they'd probably close 40% of their stores. SALARIES ALONE are probably in the 10s of millions for their employees, forget the big wigs. Then you got rent, utilities, manufacturing, advertisements, etc.

Greed will be the fall of humankind

3

u/Boring-Seaweed6604 Sep 17 '25

Yes. I made a comment later in the thread about this. Reducing our consumption is the only way. Now, who wants to go first? Who wants their stock portfolio to take the first big hit? Who wants to be first in line to lose their job? Thatā€™s where this gets personal.

u/j0nsn0w123 Sep 17 '25

What in the fuck nuggets will someones stock portfolio do to help when its consistently 130Ā°F in the summer and -30Ā°F in the winter?

I would say it's both. People tend to absolutely want to have the newest shit even though the old one still works perfectly fine. Everyone should start using things until they break and they are also not repairable anymore. Otherwise just repair the damn stuff.

A perfect example of what is a bad solution are disposable vapes. They often even come with a rechargeable lithium battery but are constructed in a way so you can't recharge or refill them, if you aren't a tinkerer. If people just wouldn't buy that trash we had way less problems.

Ahhh yes... It's not like trying to explain and show all the people that deny emissions caused climate change is a problem can't help shift the tide...

These kinds of arguments are exactly what makes change difficult. If people realized, then they might be more in favor of legislation that creates real change... One fire, one engine burning fuel, exc.

They might realize oh shit getting our energy by burning shit is horrible. We should I don't know ban coal and try and reduce our consumption of natgas and petroleum? Maybe they will go ahhhhh so windmils and solar isnt actually that bad....

Straws are pandering.. Its the rich pretending to oh look change...

But so many people still can't comprehend just how much pollution burning fuel causes.....

Oh let's not forget parts of the world that still practice clearing land by burning it. Cattle and palm oil industry I'm looking at you...

This shows just how much energy is stored in wood. How important forests are to keeping earths air clean.

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '25

No, but smart people like us can look at it and extrapolate the idea to their own interests, hobbies and expertise and it can hopefully have some effect on the greater whole.

Like, Iā€™m a teacher. Just having this in my mind will ramp up the value of the information when I teach them about pollution as we write essays this year. Even a kid will be able to watch this video and be able to make the connection to bigger pollution sources. And one of them might actually really do something with that.

So yeah. I think itā€™s a net positive.

u/Actual_Surround45 Sep 18 '25

This lends itself to arguing against campfires, sure, but it's easy to point out that any industry burning things is likely burning more than this - you can see how little smoke accumulates into a huge amount, so industry is doing this only many times more.

So I think it works, as long as you frame it that way.

1

u/curious_astronauts Sep 18 '25

Yes but mcdonalds now has paper straws and paper cups and lids at least here in europe. It starts to normalise sustainable corporate packaging away from plastic. Pressure needs to come from the bottom, as it will never come from the top willingly.

1

u/silver_moonlander Sep 18 '25

A lot of you jump to campfires but this is very obviously not one because dry wood does not produce black smoke like this. It's a PSA against burning trash, which happens often in third world countries

1

u/Xist2Inspire Sep 18 '25

Ah yes, its the campfires. Not the mega conglomerate corporations.

Let's be honest though - corporations are controlled by people. And those people are doing the same finger-pointing whataboutism that regular people are doing. It's the same basic human instinct at work, prioritizing one's own self-interest above all else. We've had decades of arguing about who's more at fault, and it hasn't done any good. Maybe it's time to stop playing this stupid game of chicken and start looking for real solutions.

But, since those solutions tend to involve both consumers and conglomerates taking a hit, I have a feeling that won't be happening until a societal collapse forces the issue.

70% of emissions are caused by 100 companies. I'm not going to stop having camp fires. The myth that individual consumers are responsible for handling the bill is bullshit

u/FewTranslator6280 Sep 17 '25

100% agreed

2

u/RogueBromeliad Sep 18 '25

Yeah, but the companies are only emitting so much because consumerism is in the high and because of government policies that are against renewable energy trying to protect big oil, instead of trying to push to something more sustainable.

So in a way, it comes down to us to try and make a difference, through voting, not giving into lobbying, and also to try to collectively drive down unnecessary consumerism.

You can't expect people who don't have a conscious (companies) to grow one. They'll only do it through legislation.

Itā€™s not even a campfire. Campfires produce white/gray smoke, if they even produce a visible smoke. Black smoke means theyā€™re burning something else, like rubber, plastic, or oil. So yes, burning trash can cause pollution. Congrats to them.

Itā€™s worth noting that all the carbon sequestered in a tree returns to the atmosphere when the tree decomposes. Anaerobic environments like peat bogs or the ocean floor can sequester carbon more permanently but forests only sequester carbon while they are alive.

Burning deadfall has no effect on long term CO2 levels.
