I think that applies in life more generally tbh. People who tend toward extremes don’t handle nuance very well. Most of life is nuance

I mean maybe. A lot of people today aren’t having children bc of the general state of things and concerns around climate factor into that

Does the graph include how palm farms are built on precious forest land that has since been burned down? and that the land primarily being burnt is some of the most important land for storing carbon and providing oxygen?

So language is this funny thing that organic creatures do. And organic creatures, being organic, change over time. So too does the things they do

That’s a great point. I had a similar realization when riding one for the first time. It was something along the lines of capitalism “fixing” problems that it itself causes. Can’t afford a car? Rent a scooter

Oh for sure. My deeper point is just that culture is a factor that never really comes up in these conversations and memes. So while yes, the pic is funny, and yes it’s getting at the heart of the issue. That doesn’t change the fact that some people just dont care and also doesn’t change the fact that the transition period away from car dependency is awkward for a lot of people

Two things can be true. I live in a downtown area with plenty of open space for bike parking and kids will leave the rent bikes in the middle of wherever they want

I mean yeah but also people do leave them littered everywhere
