Don’t believe the narrative that’s being pushed.

Happy Earth Day, feat. what I’m currently reading in front of a gorgeous cherry blossom tree

Love the earth – she’s your first and last home. Don’t litter, try not to be wasteful, but also don’t let anyone bully you into doing certain things because they think it’s better for the environment.

🌿look into lithium batteries and rechargeable devices – they’re not as good for the environment as the narrative is saying
🌿the @worldeconomicforum is bullshit in my opinion, read the info they push wisely
🌿even if you try your best to recycle, the programs in place in the US only actually recycle a small percentage
🌿most plastic still ends up in landfills
🌿metal straws can actually kill people, so use a plastic straw and just make sure to throw it in the trash
🌿being a vegan doesn’t help the earth, it hurts it by displacing and killing the bugs and animals that would’ve been working in those crop fields
🌿grow your own herbs and veggies if you want to be more sustainable, or support a farm near you
🌿if butchered properly, one whole cow (in addition to other meat) can feed a family for an entire year
🌿pick up litter if you see it, get over your fear of getting sick from touching it and get over yourself by telling yourself someone else will do it. Someone else won’t do it.

Read on and look more into what’s being pushed to “save the climate,” because it might not actually be saving the planet.
