>Like using the AC less saving money.
Yes.
>Eating less meat, better for your health
Also agree. It is also better for resources in total if we could cut meat to not have to grow as much feed for livestock.
>(especially if ya your average MERICAN) and pls note i say less meat not abandon all eating habits.
Noted. Veganism is crazy (no offense to any vegans, am just not convinced that one can rid all animal products in a radical way and not have some sort of drawback), but cutting back on meat is the sensible thing to do.
>The general issue also is that quite often, companies that do absolutely splendid will lobby against any changes even though they would 100% be fine and easily sustainable. But since that doesn’t equal making ALL THE MONEY they will do everything in their power to fight back.
I have a severe distrust of regulation from the standpoint that it often only makes things suck for everybody but the trouble makers themselves (at least in the States).
>And on companies, quite often people will claim their purpose is to make the maximum amount of money as if they are soulless entities when they are run by humans. Humans who have a will of their own, that can be held to a moral, sustainable and sensible standard.
Though I overall agree on corporations being beholden to only profit being a bad thing. Looking around at what that mentality did to the American heartland, I think a lot of the right do (but not enough). Albeit I fear that pressure on sustainability and corporate accountability will only produce a fusion of corporations and the state marching hand and hand to a left wing polite police state lead by Elisabeth Warren. A sort of worst of both worlds where the government expands their power and corporations persevere theirs (there was a
reason the establishment was about to accept Warren over Bernie). I don’t think the market in its current form is going to naturally fix itself and I am uncertain of what view I would take to fix it, at least for my country. Some hopeful progress on right to repair not withstanding.

I am in a similar boat. I know that electric car advocates and their team claim all the battery issues and such are just made up from think takes with oil money but considering where environmental advocacy has taken us with Europe and its energy woes I suspect that more could be amiss than what is admitted.
@AlsoSprachOdin
Well, I would describe it as the attitude
@Seiken described here. Though I think you already read it. In particular:
