Talk is cheap and 2021 proved it

"The clear meaning of the expression is that it doesn't cost anyone to say something, and the real difficulty is in doing it. It is another way of saying that something is easier said than done and that plenty of people will talk a big game, but few are willing to back it up."

And when it comes to the environment or climate change there has been plenty of big talk and very little action. Actually, things have even gotten worse over the past year.

In 2021, companies vowing to reduce waste, recycle more, and achieve net-zero emissions (sometime this century), giving us a warm and fuzzy feeling that they're actually going to do something. It's simply GREENWASHING providing a timeline so they can have time to come up with another set of bullshit promises. The worst part is we're buying into it

Here's a shortlist of what really happened just last year.

• Greenhouse gas emissions increased by 6%
• Single-use plastics increased by over 30%
• The fossil fuel industry plans to increase plastic production by 40% over the next decade.
• Around 11 million tons of plastic made their way into the ocean last year. Up from 9 million
• Roughly one-third of the food produced around 1.3 billion tons and valued at $1 trillion- is wasted or lost.
