    For those saying that this is the fault of corporations yes true, but the corporations are destroying the planet based on filling the consumers demands. Companies don’t exist for the sole purpose of destroying the planet. If less people ate beef for example, less cows would need to be raised and this would result in less greenhouse gases.

    Consume less and regulate environment protections is the answer.

      True, but we also have a gigantic advertising industry to manipulate people into buying things they don’t really want. Some items have also become mandatory like a form of internet access (not that I’m complaining about that one) and in the USA and much of the UK cars as well.
