    Agreed, but this is like comparing your neighbor burning 1 million acres to you having a bonfire. The scale is the problem. We should absolutely take individual responsibility; however, our small impact is only felt when we band together.

        It is not offset. If you bend together you don’t buy the next dumb thing.

        Bending together is the only thing that can create change, billionaires won’t.
