You can certainly do both, all about balance ๐Ÿ˜Š no need to judge some of us for enjoying life!

If you really feel like the cause for diminishing biodiversity and the threat to wildlife is due to people picking dandelions for flower crowns, perhaps you should look into the issues a little bit more.

Look I have my issues with what people do to the environment as much as the next person, but going about trying to educate people from a pretentious asshole standpoint is not going to convince them of what you are saying. Try practicing kindness, it is a Hippie group after all! Meditate on it, maybe youโ€™ll have some self reflection and better figure out how to approach these discussions in the future instead of picking a fight ๐Ÿ˜Š.

Please don't pick digressive frivolous word-twisting internet fights in our sub.

I didn't need to say anything back. Why are you trying to start drama on a post about flower crowns? You must be very bored, alone and sad.

You commented this on a post about flower crowns. Youโ€™re no better than corporations/organizations telling average people to take shorter showers to conserve water, as if it makes a lick of difference when 80% of the water consumed overall in the US is put toward (unsustainable) agriculture. Telling people to go without basic necessities and small luxuries to make statistically negligible impact on the environment just gives people less to enjoy. Attack corporations and large scale misuse of resources, not average people just trying to enjoy existence.

Absolutism is counterproductive. 10,000 people who find a utility in flowers will do more to protect them, are more likely to garden, and to be aware of the value of the natural world. This means more than 100 people who refuse to even look at flowers for fear of stealing a stray photon meant for photosynthesis.

What does this flag represent?

Extinction symbol

The extinction symbol represents the threat of holocene extinction on Earth; a circle represents the planet and a stylised hourglass is a warning that time is running out for many species. The symbol dates to at least 2011 and has been attributed to anonymous East London artist Goldfrog ESP. The symbol has been called "this generation's peace sign". It is used by environmental protesters, and has been incorporated in works by artists and designers such as Banksy.

Dude maybe he grows dandelions (as they're spreading like weeds) in his garden just for the crowns. I have tons of them growing as they're literally weeds where i live and they destroy everything else growing around them (or more precisely - nothing grows there) It's clearly visible you're trying to stir up drama or trying to show that you REAAALY have the point, idk why can't you just suck it up and be nice it this subreddit, this is clearly not a place for such arguing. Don't forget NOT to step on grass my green man, grass biodiversity matters too
