If you look into international politics and even the financial elite, the will to change and adapt green policies is there, more so than in the general public.

If you look into international politics and even the financial elite, the will to change and adapt green policies is there, more so than in the general public. Which is exactly the problem. Nobody is going to follow a leader preventing them from buying 7 different iPhones even though you probably only needed one. Which is a simplification, but the middle class is completely dependent on economic growth. Both as consumers, but mainly as workers. I think there is a lot of hope for change though, I mean, automation is going to make 60% of the current workforce obsolete over the next 20 years. With that comes a need for change.
