May I add electric cars? If u want to live without fossil fuels, it'll be almost impossible. Speaking of oil, watch this documentary by the BBC called Planet Oil & how it has taken over everything. Don't delude urself to think u are green & not black.

Must watch it to understand the world we live in, if u're not already aware of the role of oil & its derivative in your life. Once u do, u'll find the hypocrisy of vegan shoes etc.

Everything u touch has fossil fuels, including electricity to charge ur phone to read this tweet.

People think oil = the energy that powers your car & therefore if you buy an electric car, say a Tesla, your green cred is up.

But that is delusional thinking. That electric car requires oil to even be manufactured & very energy intensive. And its source of power is fossil fuel.

But oil isn't just the gas you pump at the station, it carries the goods u buy, including planes/ships/trucks etc. Its derivative is in the PLASTIC container that contains the food u eat, even organic.

Your house/life has plenty of plastic. Anything plastic is an oil derivative

When you eat fake meat that is processed to look & taste like beef, it is packaged in plastic, which is oil. And to create this, it requires energy/electricity, which is from fossil fuel (natural gas).

Oil = black & is considered bad but if u think that, here's the question...

Are you willing to live in a world that isn't fueled by oil? Because the CHEAP goods you consume, whether branded green or not, is because of fossil fuel that makes it possible.
Are u willing to work harder to have less? Buy less plastic-derived goods? Only super local? Be Amish?

Watch this: one of the best documentaries out there. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p048dpqp
