Im a vegetarian, and my pockets are always full of litter I see on the streets, thats how I make my difference. But then again I know one person not eating meat isnt going to stop the factory farm industry, its purely a moral choice for me. But when we live in a society that sells plastic as single use, where everything is wrapped and we use plastic bags instead of paper. The problem isnt with the consumer, its with the producer. Can you even go 3 days without using something that has plastic in it or came in plastic packaging? or was brought home in plastic bags? Its fucked up and when big companies guilt us into thinking its our fault rather than theirs and the government who endorses it because the oil companies lobby for them it creates a whole other issue ontop of it.

I worked in a set of high rise buildings (group of four buildings 14+ stories with interconnected ground levels) and saw several instances where fires broke out. The alarms were designed to clear the floor with the fire, along with the floor above and below. Then shortly more floors above. Evacuation was staggered and usually did not require the entire building be disturbed.
