I love this subject because it is so full of marketing and green washing by companies that want to profit of the green hype.
Nowadays everyone pretends to be green or to be saving the planet by buying a Tesla or taking shorter showers. Here is the thing though, those things statistically don't matter. They are a good way for most people to signal that they are doing something while not really doing anything.
The things that matter the most are [0]: Having less kids, not OWNING a car (owning an EV doesn't really count), not taking flights.
Almost nobody does that though because those changes are really difficult
I believe that we should stop making people believe that they save the world by buying a Tesla and push it a bit more as a real environmental crisis.

Almost nobody does that though because those changes are really difficult And what's the point, where do you draw the line? If we have to reduce our standard of living, we've failed to come up with smart solutions. If I take your line of thought further, we'd better stop fighting famine and developing vaccination.
