It's such a shame. Children have so much curiosity for the world.

Adults should realy nourish that, not kill it.

I've worked with children in that age range (6 and older) and it's realy crazy what they come up if you give them a bit of room to experiment with their ideas.

I agree completely.

It comes down to wanting the best for yourself and only for yourself. There can't be any other motivation for destroying a whole planet in order to get a live with vastly more money than you could ever spend.

Good point. If the wizard did this you also would never know that such a song existed. Hence your "worst song in the world" spot would be filled with a different song the instant the spell hits.

It shows how such categories as "the worst" and "the best" are only constructions of our mind.

Just that they are actively recruiting people from STEM.

Not only that, we have a couple of social science people around too :-)

I could tell you the facts, like how stopping eating meat is one of the easiest ways to make a huge change. I could give you some studies, show you how almost every report on climate change in the last 15 years has listet going more plant based is part of their recommendations. But you know what? I'm just fucking over with people that aren't grown up enoth to even do the slightest little change in their lives.

We deserve the future that awaits us.

Your plan is to require every individual on the planet to make sacrifices that could kill them and their loved ones? You think that’s actually achievable?

No. I complete not registered the second half of your sentence while quoting it. No fucking idea how that happend. Complete brain fart on my end.

So what’s a realistic approach to the problem:

Getting billions of individuals to change across the planet? Which requires most of them and their families to die?

AND

Changing a few dozen companies.

Changes like this don't happen in an empty space. If you have an Eco aware consumer base it help a lot.

Having a consumer base that is aware of and cares about the environment is going to help a lot on that regard.

Good start. Then go vegetarian of even vegan and you should be good ;-)

Let's say it's a postmodern interpretation of the meme idea.

Seven years on, the utility has not delivered on its clean-energy sales pitch. NW Natural has more retail gas customers than ever. It supplies them little, if any, renewable natural gas. It sells them as much fossil natural gas in an average year as it did before. And it wages steady battles in the courts and in local city halls to keep the gas flowing.
