• Wait, what? A new article in Orion Magazine (an environmental publication of sorts) by Derrick Jensen urges readers to not worry so much about personal consumption – it only accounts for a teeny percent of all waste and emissions anyway.
• Wait, why? Jensen argues that capitalism (that b*itch!) has made us define ourselves as consumers, not citizens. Instead of demanding political change, we think the best way to fight climate change is “buying green” or driving less.
• So what? Jensen makes a sound yet (judging by the hoards of comments) controversial bid to save the environment the good ol’ fashioned way – by causing a fuss and holding those with the “real power” accountable. source
