> people won't change. they are addicted to convenience, low prices, diversity in options, and unlimited availability. which is also great for corporate profits.

But we can change our behavior by showing ourselves less ads. And that would solve a lot of other problems too.

The reason you block ads is selfish, the environment savings (I'd like to see data on that) are incidental.

Not every change we need to make will benefit people. More often they will require more work, more resources, or less enjoyment at rhe individual level (recycling, not driving certain types of vehicle).
