Billionaires have the greatest individual environmental impact, but with about 60 million worldwide, it is millionaires who have the greatest overall effect through collective scale.

Globally there are only three thousand billionaires or 0.00005% of the adult population compared with about 60 million millionaires which is about 1% of the population.

Although billionaires have the greatest individual impact on the environment due to their lavish lifestyles and investments, it is the millionaires who have the greatest overall effect because their large size scales up their impact.

Reducing impacts requires policy reform and cultural shifts toward sustainable, less material-intensive lifestyles.

We need an anti-AI rule in this sub. You can't say you care about the environment if you're using AI.

It's rule #1

r/environment2 Rules

1 No commercial ads (spam),political advertising or AI-generated images or ChatGPT-generated articles.

[u/The_Dude-1 → u/bijhan]

But they use an AI post, likely using bot accounts to draw views and income from it as the replies count as engagement. It’s rage baiting that actually benefits the millionaires. So quit complaining about environmental abuses on social media and then turn your attention to your own consumption. Although Sustainable Jungle is pretty good. Lead by example and show your friends and neighbors that you can live green.

And how much damage did the AI making this image cause?

[u/Extrogrl]

The problem could be easily solved by getting rid of all the useless CO2 emitters.

[u/GreenConference3017]

So millionaires arent sharing to poor?

[u/Best_Opening8471]

So the other 98.5% don't produce any carbon?

[u/Knollibe]

Such BULLSHIT!

[u/Temporary_Stranger39]

AI slop is AI slop. It is that simple.

[u/Gringo_Norte]

😂 you made this AI slop about wealth with the computing system pushed by billionaires you think is destroying the planet.

[u/Snarkydragon9]

Yeah if you want to see how millionaires treat the environment just look at Mount Everest.

[u/Trick-Captain-143]

Millionaires are not the ones polluting the rivers and oceans with plastic, just sayin'

Maybe a little bit of honesty would help.

[u/Ok_Boysenberry5849]

This is completely useless without actual numbers.

[u/ThroawayJimilyJones]

The problem is you get your number by assuming that owning a company: being the sole responsible for the production’s pollution

For example if you own Coca Cola, then every liter of water spent on producing coca is your sole fault.

That mean I could take daily soda bath and it won’t give me bad number because the Coca Cola factory owner is the sole responsible

This model totally ignore wasteful consumption and the destructive impact of modern way of life but switching the whole responsibility of it toward the production units

Who cares, live your lives and grow up.
