I get it, believe me i do. But the world is collapsing on so many levels the greenlight ice isnt my personal most pressing climate change related issue. (Though of course, all these tinier collapses are alle interlinked)
In the pool that we where already drowning in, the amount of destruction global industries are allowed to cause every single day. This kinda thing is unlikely to make a noticeable dent.
That doesn’t mean its the right thing to do, your valid to want to challenge this idea but i plore you to ask is this the topic to fight about? I am on your side but id like to see us ban the very agreeable proven ancient mass polluters like cruise ships before worrying about the fleeting trends of the rich.
I am willing to bet cruiseships amount to over 50% of any “demand” for authentic ice anyway as there already on ships and no way do rich people actually care what type ice is in their glass when at home.
