I don't think focusing on individual responsibility will work. In order to make a meaningful difference we need to make sure that a) everyone knows what the issues are and what changes need to be made b) everyone is willing to make the sacrifices necessary If we've learned anything from (the entire history of the human race) it's that people who know and care will shoulder the burden of making changes while those who don't will benefit from it all. If we want to make a dent in our fossil fuel consumption, we need meaningful action at the national and global scale by major political powers. Taxes, regulation, criminal consequences are the only way to move the needle. edit: dougmwne said it better than I did: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28317665 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28317665
