Surely partially due to outsourcing manufacturing to outside the US/western world, and partially due to the rising living standards of the rest of the world.

Yeah consumption needs to be slowed down. Even dumb things like those Bird scooters littering cities...

I saw a t-shirt down here in New Orleans the other day that read “music, culture, industry” with a strike out line through industry. It boggles the mind.

After all how will our t-shirts and musical instruments be made?

I always preferred the "Open Your Eyes" on the side of the old naval base in the Bywater.

This. So much this. We can't blame China for its emissions, while acting like we've solved ours, when all we did was shift our emissions from manufacturing to China.
