1. cheese on sandwich and cream in coffee: suffering of cows on diary farms in pens that are barely big enough for them to move around in. alot of them probably get injected with things to make them produce more milk
2. chicken panini: caused chickens in tiny coops on trucks to travel thousands of miles to be slaughtered. most of them are injected with lots of things too.
3. gas in car: people are dying and fighting and starting wars over oil, and animals die from oil spills all the time. pollution of air by emissions from car.
4. paper plate and napkin: trees that are cut down and not replanted. erosion of the soil caused by trees not replanted. pollution of rivers by paper plants and other manufacturing plants that dump into rivers. animals and fish die from river pollution. There is a shortage of water because of river pollution.
5. clothes i have on: people (probably some children) work in sweatshops for too many hours for not enough pay and still cannot afford to feed their families.
I want to stop causing “suffering.” To not cause “suffering” I will become a hermit and grow all my food in a garden and make my own clothes and not have electricity and not ever leave unless on a bike or horse or a pogo stick or a skateboard and not let anyone visit me unless they are on a bike or a horse or a pogo stick or a skateboard.
Maybe you will say, “Every little bit helps.” But that is sad because I wish I could, at the very least, hardly ever cause anything bad to happen to a person or an animal, especially indirectly and without even noticing.
