Get rid of your car for starters. Shop at markets where they don't cover anything in plastic. Adjust what you eat around avoiding buying plastic, as much as you can.
This is so far out of what I, a west-coast american, can actually accomplish its kind of funny. I know you are being serious and those are all great suggestions that I would love to implement, but to address them: things are so spread out here I literally can't get to work/a grocery store without a car, there's a single farmers market, which runs for 4 hours every Sunday once a week and doesnt cover everything in plastic. Its literally unobtainable for someone living here. Maybe directly inside the city its possible to go carless and shop only at farmers markets, but being downtown would be way too expensive.
> Yet I observe on Twitter and other social media that these problems are considered equally important, sometimes people even treat them as equivalent.
> People still care about Disney’s animated movies from the 30s and even adults are nostalgic about the 90s X-men animated TV show and the original Star Wars from the 70s.
Come one. Saying people is a cop out? Everyone, no way. So how many people, because that is what matters.
Early hype for the Mouse House’s upcoming streaming service, Disney+, appears to be building, with 24% of Americans saying they’re “extremely likely” to subscribe once it’s available in November, according to a Tuesday survey from UBS. That would come out to about 30.2 million U.S households. Another 19% said they’re “somewhat likely” to subscribe, which, if grabbed by Disney, would add another 24.2 million U.S. households to its fold. Disney execs, on the other hand, have projected Disney+ will pull in up to 30 million subscribers by the end of 2024
Like the "catalog" section of the old rental places, it surely would be interesting to watch an "old" movie sometimes (which by today's measure could be something like >3yrs)
arent Friends and The Office some of the most streamed shows?
I have to think Disneys back catalog of shows and movies will be a bigger draw short term than their new content. Are people buying it to watch The Mandalorian and the new Lady and the Tramp, or are they buying it so their kids can watch every disney movie ever made? Dont get me wrong, having a bunch of Marvel mini-series as their launch content is a brilliant move to make it not "just the old stuff."
They kill 40,000 people every single year in the USA, and injure or disable over 2 million more. And that is not including death from the pollution the cause. And this is just one reason they are the worst invention created by man.
It's not just small bits of rubber you see on the side of the road, it's billions of rubber dust particles that come off the tires and blow in to the air giving you cancer.
