I mean, nobody ever says "I got cancer despite exercise and healthy eating!"

What? People literally say this all the time!

..we are fucked because people reduce shit to memes rather than doing something (talk to MPs, companies, buy ethical).

Oh yeah, why don't some people just strike?

Just buy ethical (with not enough money), write a letter to your local politician (who doesn't care and can't do anything about it) or talk to Amazon and Starbucks, they will surely listen!

How many of those things do you do?

Are you a vegan? (everything else is not ethical)

Do you buy in stores? (nearly nothing is produced by companies who really do smth for the environment)

Do you regularly write to all your politicians to all matters? (How did it work out?)
