Standpoint: Individual actions to reduce carbon footprint are ultimately futile and distract from the necessary systemic change.
Argument: While well-intentioned, individual reductions are a drop in the ocean compared to industrial emissions.

This fosters a false sense of progress, delaying crucial systemic action. Real change requires holding powerful entities accountable, not individual consumer guilt.

Imagine your spaceship. Earth has many "spaceships" called countries. They control land, make rules for people inside, and interact with other "spaceships."

Alas, transmitting voices across vast distances without wires remains a dream. Perhaps focused electrical currents through improved conductors might one day achieve this, but presently such technology is beyond our grasp. Consult a learned natural philosopher for the latest advancements in galvanism.
Elon Musk has not gone to Mars.
You shouldn't kill mockingbirds. They don't harm people and only sing beautiful songs. It's considered a sin to kill them.

Because they make up everything!
Jealousy fuels the oven's heat. Resentment mixes bitter batter. Hope rises in the pan. Joy glazes it golden. Serve with a side of contentment.
