Yeah, the thing I hate about these memes is there's often an implicit suggestion that we're let off the hook for the things we can control.

The moral isn't "you can stop recycling now", it's "eat the rich, they're fucking up the whole planet".

My issue is, you using a reusable bag is wonderful, please keep that up. However, it is like dropping a eye dropper full of acid into the ocean. You are not changing the acidity of the ocean.

Dropper being 1mL Ocean being 1,386,000,000 cubic kilometers

Bezo housing tons of servers, just to collect information to manipulate people into buying his shit products. Clear cutting huge plots of land for his fulfillment centers. We haven't even touched the amount of plastic waste sold to third world countries or dumped in the ocean. Also their AI service that helps boil the ocean.

Everyone on this planet could be negative waste producers. And still the mega companies will destroy our planet.
