For clothing we can target natural fibers like wool and alpaca fleece. These offer superior durability with many of the same moisture wicking properties as polyester. Some people won’t be able to afford these nicer clothes on their income. We can address this by taxing the rich, providing more social safety nets, and raising the minimum wages. For single use plastics we can start asking if packages at the store really need cling wrap protecting the cardboard box. We can also question if those cardboard boxes really need glossy packaging. Another major source is single use plastics bottles and drink cups from fast food. We can deal with a lot of this by figuring out why so many people don’t consider their drinking water safe, and then making their drinking water safe.
There. There’s three things I was able to think of off the top of my head. But you wanna know something? It starts with saying “there’s a problem, and we need to do something.” So I say to you again. Why do the big petrochemical companies need little old you to step in and protect them? Do you really think there’s just no other way forward than to destroy the world, or do you lack so much imagination that when someone says you should be trying to reduce or avoid something, you need them to go into exhaustive detail about what a future without that thing could look like?
I don’t think I’ve solved the worlds problems. But apathy is what’s killing us and if we don’t even try to put in the work to find solutions we won’t find them. I’m not trying to speak in catchphrases and I’m not even sure which parts of my speech I’m referring to. Regardless of how you feel about it I’m going to keep putting in the work to politically motivate people to awaken to that our modern conveniences don’t need to be as disposable as they are, that neocolonialism is sapping the world of its resources to enrich the 1%, and that we can’t expect better if we don’t do anything at all. I would love to hear your ideas too. But the biggest thing is we can’t do better if we don’t even think about how to do better. It all starts with envisioning a better world and then working towards that
Yet all you’ve done is complain. Also crazily enough, many of the things he said above can be put to scale.
I think we would all love to see your grandiose ideas and plans to help better humanity, or is your only plan to dissuade everyone from doing anything, so that you don’t feel guilty for doing fuck-all?
Nothing you, or anyone else, write here matters. Nobody here will be a driver for change. Nobody here will introduce any change to how the world works. Great job assuming people have main character syndrome like you and have “grandiose ideas and plans to better humanity”. You aren’t “doing something” by arguing on a niche forum and throwing one-liners. None of your “plans” will be enacted.
We should be targeting a world without micro plastics. The sweet little petrochemical companies really don’t need you stepping in to defend them
Explain how you plan on realizing that instead of saying “we shoulda coulda”

None of what you said could be made at scale. You just spouted a few catchphrases that mean nothing and think you solved the world’s problems.
You just hate alpacas you freak

There is a difference between apathy and complaining about something without any feasible solution. Other than that, again, more catchphrases.
