Individual changes aren't enough, but they're necessary. Pushing for systemic change and laws forcing others to change their lives but not wanting to voluntarily make changes in yours just looks like hypocrisy.
- coldtea 6y agoWell, until the law changes for everybody, others get a competitive advantage over you by not making those changes. So it's not hypocrisy, it's basic economics
- Loic 6y agoVery short term, maybe. My personal experience is that reducing our family environmental footprint improved our life and is financially positive. More biking in the city, health improves, less water/electricity consumption, bills are reduced, less meat, no overweight issues. You have quite a strong positive coupling/link between paying attention to the nature and yourself. My basic economics is that my bank account tells me it is good.
