Is it true that if I save energy at home it allows industry to pollute more?
Look, industry isn’t going to cease once the percentage of people who actually are being semi-conscious quit. I’d say most of the pundits turn the arguments back onto the individuals as a distraction, or in this case just make it look like it’s hopeless so why bother. Mind you, I’m personally skeptical of the actual effects of individuals, but that doesn’t mean give up. Try to live consciously.
