The waste and littering from all those single-use products just kills me. I pick up masks off the ground everywhere I go - my personal record for number of masks picked up during my daily run is over 40.
The mask cultists are the exact same people lecturing us on climate change. I'd like to know exactly how being a "climate change activist" became an acceptable substitute for actually caring about visible environmental problems in your day-to-day life, and who the architects of that paradigm shift are.
Reminds me of when I used to keyboard-warrior against the global warming people and I'd come across a study done at a university (memory's a little fuzzy on the specifics), but they'd done a survey of a whole bunch of college students and found that the ones who self-identified as "not believing in global warming" were MORE helpful to the environment than those who self-identified as "believing in global warming". Blew my mind, and since then I have always observed that to be true whenever and wherever I looked.
That's interesting but not surprising. Most of the climate change non-believers I know are, like myself, people who live/have lived on the land, have observed it for years or decades, and actively work to improve their patch.
Being an "activist" is fantastic because you get to feel good about being "part of the solution" without the hard work of actually being part of the solution. I'll have to dig around and see if I can find the paper you mentioned - it would be great ammunition.
I just throw my used masks all over the place!😂😂😂
