    Make hay, this year’s harvest festival will be bountiful with the largest strawman we’ve ever seen!

    Don’t buy an electric car. Bike to work. Take the train. Don’t eat animals products, they’re destroying the planet. Use a Fair phone, buy second hand, install solar.

    Us lefties are weak, dependant on creature comforts. Cheap plastic clothing, $3 beef burgers, voting for cheap petrol at the pump.

    Your initial conceit of not affording consumers blame is a big driver of that weakness. Consumers wasting food IS a problem. Consumers buying food from big food wasters is a problem. But if you aren’t living clean green, how can you hold some lady running a business to any account?

    Inb4: “it’s all too hard, everyone is too busy to be that ethical, capitalism has locked me into being a bad person”. Be better, be ethical.
