Look, let's get one thing straight here. This isn't some sugar-coated bedtime story about how we're all saving the world, one LED bulb at a time.
Hell no!
We're standing at the precipice and the Earth is gasping for breath, climate change is kicking in the door, and we're busy patting ourselves on the back for swapping our cozy incandescent for LEDs? This is not just misguided, it's flat-out delusional.
Start holding the real culprits accountable. The Nestlés, the Coca-Colas, the PepsiCos of the world, drowning us in an unending sea of plastic waste, while we're distracted by the shiny new LED bulb.
We're stuck in a ludicrous illusion of progress, told that such half-measures are making a dent. But let's swallow the bitter pill of truth: they're not. And the real villains? The plastic-spewing behemoths like China, coupled with the insatiable consumption by corporations such as Amazon.
It's time to face some cold, hard facts. The grand total of U.S. energy saved by switching all incandescent bulbs to LEDs amounts to about 1% of our annual usage. It's a drop in the ocean.
China is the undisputed heavyweight champion of plastic production. They churn out a mind-boggling amount of plastic, much of which ends up being sold via retail giants like Amazon to "eco-conscious" consumers in the West. A perfect cycle of hypocrisy and destruction.
We can’t simply LED our way out of this mess. It's high time we targeted the real culprits. Swapping bulbs might make us feel better, but it's nothing more than a dim distraction from the glaring crisis. We need to focus on the genuine threats facing our planet: the unchecked plastic production and consumption. Otherwise, we're simply choosing to remain in the dark.
Do you really want to live in cold ice blue lighting every inch of your life's existence?
Do you want warm glow?
