Electric car, solar panels on your house, living in the city, family in a nursing home in case they need support.
I think this is very much true, although comparatively richer people use flights much more and they have a worse co2 budget if you price in their consumption of food, clothing or luxury goods in general.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoI think the meta issue is that existing is expensive when you have to price in not adding to climate change or biosphere impact. Existing is cheap when you can consume factory farmed meat, fossil fuel products without a carbon tax (for both mobility and electricity), etc. We overshot what was sustainable as a species and now it’ll be terribly painful paying back the debt hangover. We have to provide for 7.5B people today, 11B by the end of the century, and generate enough clean energy to sequester all of the CO2 emitted during the industrial revolution.
