> Can't demand others to do it you won't do it first. Saving the environment is not about individual choice, it's about fixing an unsustainable system. It's unsustainable because negative externalities are not effectively taxed/banned. Bad behaviour is rewarded financially which further drives change in the wrong direction. Making it about individual choice, and therefore subject to "hypocrisy" is an effective way of preventing change. Divide and conquer. It's undeniably the pervasive narative in the media (but again this can be explained by systemic effects - where does the money come from? Who stands to benefit?). You can demand new rules that come in for everyone at the same time. That's how tax rates change, how universal healthcare systems are established, how slavery is ended. Societies are ultimately shaped by what people believe is possible. Edit: Your comment has changed, but you're still expressing the conviction that everyone has to do things voluntarily. That's not true - only enough power has to come together to make and enforce laws. A high bar, but not as insurmountable.
