Out of all the comments here, this is the only one to bring data and a legitimate argument, so I commend you.

You’re right, we are still growing overall energy usage and the balance is not being picked up solely by alternative energy. But that’s not really my point.

We keep hearing about this climate change topic in ways that put the responsibility on the general consumer, but clearly that is not solving the issue. Maybe the issue is that the type of alternatives we are picking aren’t actually working. Maybe the issue isn’t how people get to work but how they’re entirely reliant one getting the things they need to survive being supplied through unsustainable means.

I’ve had people shame me for driving a gas powered car but the reality is my Corolla puts out next to nothing compared to the shear volume it takes to get me a solar powered phone charger off of Amazon. Think about food and clothes and shelter. How much pollution does it take to fill a wardrobe. People need to think about things other than basic transportation. Bicycles aren’t going to make the planet greener.

Pull a kitchen drawer open all the way and stick it to the bottom of the granite with a bit a blu-tack

I don’t know who would pay thousands of dollars for an old shit, but I’m quite certain they ain’t my kind of people

Dialing into security alarm systems that are still connected via POTS lines. They’re certainly on their way out but there’s still plenty out there.

I have three of them at work that I still use daily.

Good luck if it comes with S mode enabled though

Not if YouTube interjects the ad after uploading and the location is randomized.

It’s only a matter of time before they start embedding them into the video like podcasts do and you won’t be able tell the difference between ad and video with software.

Yeah this is the way. I honestly forgot they had ads until I pulled a video up on my phone to show a friend the other day.
