@edgarrmcgregor Lots of it.
Bears, dolphins, whales, trees, fungi, butterflies, bats, frogs....
Humans? Unfortunately it is too soon to tell if we are intelligent or just voracious.
Surely it is clear enough by now: if we the people don't reduce our DEMAND for things we do not need, manufacturing to meet that demand will devastate our planet. Whether we use renewable energy or fossil fuel.

Yet another reminder:
Human consumption doesn't scale, no matter how you generate your energy.
Most important thing we all can do is #REDUCE consumption to keep more #fossilfuels in the ground!

The steel industry generates more CO2 than cars, buses and motorbikes—combined. It’s also the same industry making wind turbines&solar panels
my take: same is true of polysilicon made in China in coal-based plants

@PaulEDawson@evianwater There may be times when a plastic water bottle is necessary (helping victims of natural disasters fail?).
But for casual consumption, they should be very expensive - that would take care of most of the problem.
When we make plastic-fueled convenience cheap, we are doomed.
@JacquelynGill Perhaps we could work to abolish the term "owner" used with "pet". Our pets are sentient creatures and should be considered full-fledged members of the family. No ownership involved there.
While relying on self-seeding for all the tree species already present on the land, 5-6 years ago I planted some Scots pine, as it made up much of the wildwood here in prehistory, but died out.
Yesterday I was thrilled to notice for the first time tiny cones and flowers on some.
@MichaelEMann Agreed AND individual actions do way more than make us feel better and inspire others. When I avoid buying something made of single use plastic, I do less harm to my planet and our co-inhabitants.
In other words, reducing consumption saves life. Directly. Unequivocally.
@MichaelEMann We should not "fixate" on only taking individual action. But we should not diminish the importance of each of us changing our consumption patterns to reduce energy and resource usage. At a minimum, this will leave more fossil fuels available for the shift to renewables.
