It’s not like each individual banana was artisinally grown in a flower pot. They literally grow on trees.

And petrol grows in the soil so I guess we're all right then

I took a single banana as an example, now think about the millions of animals we slaughter every year which end up straight to the bin etc.

It's like cars, a single car is fine, 1.4 billion cars are not, I think most people just don't comprehend the scale of it all

Petrol does not, in fact, “grow” on human timescales.
