If you met someone and got married, would you stay there? What about with kids?

Because-- in the US especially-- if we wait for the government to change regulations or corporations to do the right thing, we'll be waiting long past all the tipping points.

Our Congress is bought and paid for. They are puppets of every major polluter on the planet. We will rot waiting for Congress to do what we all know needs to be done while blasting right through worst case scenario.

On the other hand, US citizens are CO2nsumers. Big time. And in a corporate-owned country, our loudest vote is with our dollar.

And if hundreds of millions of us personally generate less CO2, that absolutely makes a difference. Our lack of movement and purchasing is why CO2 emissions went down during the height of COVID.

Lastly, when companies see demand shift, they shift. If vegan sells, more companies produce vegan, more Wall Street profiteers invest in vegan and it's a happier spiral. More people buy EV's, manufacturers see where the demand is and produce more EVs. More people buy the alternatives that's aren't packaged in plastic and packaged goods makers shift away from plastic.

Everybody has to do as much as they personally can, including vote, buy less, use less heat and a/c, get rid of the lawn and the equipment used to maintain it, take roadtrips instead of plane trips, etc., etc, etc, etc.

And tell all our friends, family, neighbors and coworkers about how we're changing and why.

Side benefit: Once people give up all this shit, they've got some real PITA skin in the game and become more politically active to get those useless government reps un-elected.

Figure out a way to sell that song QUICK-- even if only for $1. You'll make some money and maybe you can use it to help write more songs.

I'll keep checking back to see if/when I can pay for the privilege of supporting your talent.

Then they skip in behind you and scoop up the golden idol, easy peasy no squeezy.

Has anyone investigated whether there's a correlation between newborns being fed pumped breast milk and later having developmental delays?

I've always wondered about all that plastic tubing, receptacle, plastic storage bags. And also about those small formula bottles-- the hospital sent us home with literal bags full of them when our child had trouble breast feeding.
