It's exasperating, people around me over-consume, drive too much, own pets (which are completely useless, cost energy too (healthcare, food, ..), cats damage seriously the ecosystem when they are outside, ..), we are talking of something close to a billion of pets, 20% of people still smoke cigarettes as a bonus It's not just those simple acts, but when you consume 1L of gas with your car, you have to consider the amount of energy to extract it, transport it, stock it... It can't go well with those attitudes, where residential pollution is about 40%-45% of overall pollution. This alone can be divided by 10, when I see my environmental fingerprint, with my bike and laptop

That is actually part of the plan. Everyone believes in a manufactured environmental doomsday scenario, and can blame it on nameless "others" who "pollute" the Earth with their trace gases. Soon there will be a carbon indulgence available for everyone to pay in order to secure your salvation. Then you can continue your patterns of actual pollution with a clear consience: littering, not picking up after your dog, not conserving resources, starting flamewars online, using too much water, ignoring the real environment around you.
