Personal DIMENSION
Our fault?
Illustrate the actions
1. Personal Dimension
Unmask Deception and Harmful Attitudes Example 1: Believing that individual actions, such as recycling alone, are enough to address the climate crisis. Deception: Oversimplification of environmental responsibility shifts blame from industries to individuals. Fallacy: "Every small action counts equally," leading to complacency. Example 2: Using greenwashing campaigns, such as "eco-friendly" labeling without actual sustainability in production. Deception: Companies exploit consumer goodwill without making real environmental changes.
Educate yourself about the environmental impact of products beyond their labels. Advocate for reducing waste by minimizing consumption instead of relying solely on recycling. Implementation: Use apps to track your carbon footprint. Support genuine eco-conscious brands and avoid single-use plastics. Justification: Verified research shows reducing consumption has a larger environmental impact than recycling alone.
