I love how corporations are pretending to be people and trying to put the blame on everyone else by turning around proven, logical facts about climate change. It’s absolutely pathetic. Get this lying garbage out of here. Shameful.
As someone who has a large dog with cancer, I don’t know how I could possibly manage her condition if I didn’t have a personal vehicle without it being insanely burdensome. So many appointments and pharmacy visits.
You don’t have to get rid of your car. You just have to not use it overly much. And no, this isn’t an extremely niche case; tons of people have pets and they get sick. And of course humans get sick. I could be having the same problem with a child instead of a dog.
Sorry about your dog. But your example only highlights a tabu issue in these discussions, the negative impact that having a pet has. They consume meat, packaged food, are driven around, attack wild fauna (cats especially) etc. Pets is one of the items everyone should cut, but they’re only becoming more common, like SUVs.
Well you shouldn’t say “These bad bad companies are solely responsible for the climate change, I don’t need to do anything because in relation it doesn’t matter anyway.” But that’s about it. Companies and rich/powerful people are the main reason for the climate change. Just take the “carbon footprint idea” created by oil companies in the 60s to shift their responsibility to others. Big companies know what they’re doing. Additionally, don’t underestimate marketing and advertising. They have the power to create more “needs”. You may be proud of your goals in restricting yourself and you should be! But the world can’t be saved when every consumer is doing their best while companies doing what they’re always doing. I don’t wanna say capitalism is completely bad, we just need an advanced long term focused version of it.
In this drama, governments and states are the actors. The problem is not corporations, the problem is states allowing corporations to rule them, false democracies like Russia and the USA, or not democracies at all like China. You going vegan it’s good for you, I guess.

I don’t know your personal situation, but in my city there are lots of car share schemes that are cheap and easy.
also, you don’t have to take the sick pet to the grocery store, but you can take a bike, urban planning permitting
My city has them, but they’re not easy. The cars are never nearby.

Dogs evolved alongside humans. You’re never going to convince people to give them up.
