beanie baby divorce court July 2, 2021īut it’s not just Pemex and the ocean fire that’s the problem.Ĭorporations have long tried to put the onus on individuals to solve an environmental problem we won’t ever be able to fix without serious regulations in place to end things like offshore drilling and overfishing.įor example, Khloé Kardashian was roasted last month for trying to tell her followers to stop using plastic bottles when the millionaire owns nine different cars, constantly flies around on gas-guzzling private jets, and has massive balloon garlands installed for any and every event leading to more unnecessary plastic pollution. Mother Nature watching humans set the Gulf of Mexico on fire /P477tB2FHwĬool that corporations expect me to feel debilitating shame for leaving the water running while i brush my teeth but the oil industry can routinely set the fucking ocean on fire and face little to no repercussions What stage of capitalism is setting the ocean on fucking fire I can use as many reusable shopping bags as I like and it won’t change the fact that there’s a raging oil fire in the middle of the fucking ocean. The myth that the public just needs to be more green to save Planet Earth allows these fossil fuel companies to deflect blame. Me: i shouldn’t have used all those plastic strawsīillionaires: you shouldn’t have used all those plastic straws
carina (adult human sbemail 💌) July 3, 2021ĭrinking your McDonald’s through one of those dusty fucking paper straws knowing the actual ocean is literally on fire and there’s not a single real change being made to do anything about the destruction of the planet /Oax1RwmnSh
While 100 companies account for 71 percent of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions - which includes Petróleos Mexicanos as one of the top 10 companies that put the most carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - individuals have been made to feel like they need to argue about small things like using metal straws, keep cups and enviro-bags to protect the planet.īut now, in the wake of the ocean literally bursting into flames, everyone’s just fed up with corporate deflection making individuals feel guilty for the mess that these companies create and refuse to solve in the name of capitalism.ĭid i do this right /OfdsPpwKYR The general public has long been told to reduce their carbon footprint by using plastic straws, recycling, taking shorter showers, and not driving to work when the large companies that account for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions face no consequence for destroying the planet. However, after learning of an oil company’s ability to literally set the ocean alight and face no consequences, people started to question what the point of the public trying to “be green” even is anymore. And, luckily for the money-hungry oil company, production was not affected! Yay! Capitalism! Pemex reported that no injuries were reported from this gas pipeline incident.
But even with the whole ~gas leaking into the ocean for five hours and causing a fire in a place where it shouldn’t be scientifically possible~, there was at least some good news to come out of the ocean fire.
