    You return your cart because it’s the right thing to do

    I return my cart because it gives me a sense of superiority

    Nope, I don’t buy it.

    • An estimated one out of every 500 Americans is homeless
    • Unarmed noncombatant civilian women and children are being bombed, shot, and starved to death.
    • There has been a nearly 70% reduction in wild vertebrates worldwide since 1970
    • The leading cause of death among children and teens in america is firearms

    Privileged westerners could do something about these things, but they are sipping their pumpkin spice lattes and congratulating each other for putting their shopping carts back because, you know, it’s the ultimate test of moral righteousness. Ugh.
