As per my other comments here - we need to do that 100%, but I don't believe that's a compelling way to get individuals to change their own behaviour.
"I don't have to do my bit as other people are much worse than me. Why aren't the other 6,999,999,999 other people doing their bit too?"

On a national level, I just saw on Wikipedia [1] my country is on 5% for renewable energy. For a rich country, that's terrible. Yet we're voting on retards who deny climate change? Not only is the evidence there, right now we're experiencing it. Which is, I suppose, a good way to stimulate momentum in supporting change. And it is even worse. I saw the other day that my aunt who lives in Amsterdam (a city where Green Left party has won, and they have a mayor from that party as well) that they're still not separating some garbage such as biodegradable waste and plastic. How on earth? I'm not from Amsterdam so I don't know the details but I felt flabbergasted when I learned about that.
