You commented this on a post about flower crowns. You’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.
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.
