A lot of us are trying, making decent sacrifices to reduce our already relatively negligible impacts on the environment. While those with money make significantly more of a negative impact instead of mildly inconveniencing themselves. Sure, refuce your impact, use less plastic, buy less shit. But none of that is really going to matter if people like Bezos are around.
I agree. Which is why the yoghurt cup example is so bad - it's hardly a personal sacrifice and it's very obviously low impact compared to vacation planerides. The issue is that things like plane vacations and other polluting consumer goods are actively promoted, and made even worse for the environment just to shave off tenths of percents in profits, by the ultra rich.
