        While not the biggest contribute to climate change and pollution it’s still important for an individual to take as little from the environment and respect it leaving it cleaner then you found it. Turning out the lights and not using plastic straws is like an environmental shopping cart test.

          You had me until you compared it to a job someone is paid to do. Nobody is paid to turn off my lights or spit liquid into my mouth.

          Of course. It doesn’t hurt anything and makes good financial sense too. I’m just sick of being told it’s the way to stop.climate change by entities that produce exponentially more carbon emissions than I do.
