It was also later discovered to cause lung cancer, mesothelioma and also because of its fibrous structure; it breaks into lots of tiny little microscopic needles when agitated. Those little shards get inhaled and poke tiny holes in your lungs which causes Asbestosis (kind of like Emphysema for smokers).
This is also why a lot of beer and other alcohol is bottled in brown bottles. The brown glass blocks some amount of UV exposure which can affect the final product over time.
Green glass has no such benefit though. Just looks nice.
Personal responsibility is great but you won't affect systemic change through personal action. I'm not suggesting you stop being a conscientious consumeror but we have a tendency to keep insisting that the first step is for everyone to individually change.l their behaviour.
E.g. If you want to personally abstain from contribution to climate change then that's A-OK but if your goal is to actually prevent it then you need to think and work systemically.
I don't mean organise in a workplace (though we all should) I mean organise in a community sense. The idea that you are responsible in part for a systemic problem because of your own consumption habits was foisted on us by corpos to shift blame for the economic and environmental destruction they chose to cause.
In aggregate yes but individually no. Unless there's some wider structure organising individuals to withhold their consumption for explicit reasons that the corpo can hear then your unsub won't have any effect beyond your own sense of self-satisfaction.
That's not to say that it's pointless but if you want to hurt a corpo you need to organise.
MMOs to MOBAs to BR.... On and on and on. Publishers being 2 years too late to a trend and trying to jump on the train after it left the station fucking over their existing fanbase in the process. The MBAs in charge of these decisions should be fired.... Out of a cannon into the sun.
As someone who is also awkwardly treading the line between being a soulless hack and trying to get my work noticed by literally anyone: please edit your top comment with a link to your game.
I mean it. I can't even muster the courage to post my renders to Instagram without feeling like some desperate influencer goof.
The fact that shrink-wrapped agreements aren't automatically void worldwide is a fucking abomination. No you shouldn't get to push a legally binding contract on me after I paid for the product. It's my property now and if you want to require a license agreement after the sale then I should be able to decline it for a full refund fuck you.
Apparently like 0.2% of users use the images one. Fwiw they're not removing it they're just separating it so the main app isn't bogged down by extra features. I hope for your sake this isn't the first step in deprecation though.
