    ComEd: burns millions of tons of fossil fuels every year to sell us electricity.

    BP: woopsies millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

    Every shipping company: burns millions of barrels of bunker fuel transporting shit from one place to another place that could have just made the stuff right there.

    Every EcoWarrior on the internet: run your drier until your clothes are only damp, trench crotch is a sacrifice for the planet. Balance the lawn chairs you bought at home depot on your bicycle, man, no one needs a car cause they’re bad for the environment.

    I understand you’re joking, but the amount of people who still don’t understand the sheer scale of modern pollution is staggering. What any private individual does, unless they start forest fires as a hobby, is a drop in the bucket compared to what mega corporations do on a daily basis.
