Letters: Make the polluter pay? It’s hypocrisy!

'People! Let me remind you how oil is connected with everything you do!'

In response to last week’s article “Make the polluter pay” 

People! Let me remind you how oil is connected with everything you do! 

Cellphones, EVs, housing, food, clothing, heating, transportation, medical care and on and on I could go.... 

If you do not use any of these things and you are totally self-sufficient then you have a case, otherwise you are a hypocrite!  

Comparing this with tobacco use? Well, there’s more of a choice in that. 

Suing the oil companies will only raise oil prices to compensate for their loss. 

Get your head out of the tar sand and think about your actions!
