    And if that’s not enough, then at least there won’t be any humans around to suffer through it!

    But you’re fighting against a fundamental urge of life here … kinda hard to achieve that at a large scale. At least that’s why I tell myself and my kid.

      Yea, you’re absolutely right. Humans are just animals in the end. Tho it is important to remember that your impact is absolutely microscopic, and even if 95% of people suddenly had the willingness, income and ability to make such changes to their life…

      …there would still be a market for it, and we’d barely make a dent in the problem. Big corporations and billionaires are so much worse
