Excellent reasoning, but I strongly disagree with the conclusion. The gap between action and belief is exactly why we need collective action, not individual action. There's a difference between us as a citizen, and as a consumer. The pandemic has shown perfectly that leaving everything up to 'individual freedom' will result in a mess. > Stop blaming others for your footprint Did you know the very idea of a footprint is invented by BP as a mechanism to shift responsibility and place blame on the consumer? Personally I spend a large part of my income on reducing my footprint by the way, but I have no illusions that this is where the required change will come from. In the country where I live, merely being registered as a citizen, paying taxes and everything that is legally required, will have am unsustainable footprint - before I even begin to take a breath I have consumed my share. What we need to do is hold the actors who are responsible accountable and make a mass collective change that is non-optional.
