    Take a look at the Cargill family, 14 billionaires. From the wiki about the current CEO:

    In 2019, former U.S. Congressman Henry A. Waxman, in a report by Mighty Earth, called Cargill “the worst company in the world” and noted that it drives “the most important problems facing our world” (deforestation, pollution, climate change, exploitation) “at a scale that dwarfs their closest competitors.”

    Do you think that is because they use every cent to burn coal and oil in their backyard, or

    do you think it is because they produce and sell products to consumers which can not be produced without harm to the environment?

    99% of the planet could produce zero pollution for the rest of our lives and it wouldn’t even make a dent in the amount of pollution created by the billionaire class.

    How do you think they would create that damage to the environment if nobody would buy their products?

    A innocent animal suffers and dies for you taste pleasure. According to the WHO and pretty much any health organization it is carcinogenic, causes heart diseases, diabetes, pneumonia and according to the IPCC going vegan is the biggest step a single person can do to fight climate change, a step which, if do not take it, even with 0 fossile fuels climate change will destroy agriculture as we know it. But I am old, lol, so whatever.





  • Allerdings fühlt es sich für mich sehr befremdlich an, das so gegeneinander aufzuwiegen. Auch wenn ich selber auf die Diskussion eingestiegen bin. Das Leid ist in beiden Fällen nicht zu ertragen.

    Das ist auch für mich ein Problem, das alles zu bewerten und hart zu sortieren ist eigentlich unmöglich, und es passiert so leicht dass man etwas aus Hilflosigkeit oder Frust versucht zu beschreiben, zu vergleichen mit der Geschichte und es wird nie der Sache gerecht. Das ist alles ein Minenfeld auf dem man sich bewegt und eigentlich bleibt nur zu hoffen dass es bald ein Teil der Geschichte wird.
