Sustainability is absolutely necessary, but its label is instead distorted by money laundering efforts such as carbon credits (you’re paying people to plant logging-worthy species they will eventually log out and sell/burn).
Virtue signaling in the EU is getting so bad, it’s opening the doors far and wide for Populist Totalitarians to take over your governments. All they have to say is “Look, you’re barely surviving in this inflation and the EU wants to take away your meat and ration your energy because it’s bad for the planet?” Green political parties have done so much damage to Europe they helped Putin sustain a war, and profit hugely from it (by just shutting down EU Nuclear power plants).
If you want to objectively help, find who the worst polluters are and start to ask why and what replacements can be made. Fund plastic alternatives and designate carbon credits to go to efforts that can’t be undone. Think second and third order of consequences.
If you want to make a dent, start there.
