Greatly respect Chomsky, Mass Popular Action could definitely end climate change it's just not likely to happen. Govt's on the other hand have a much bigger chance of success should they require commerce to adapt. In Utah for example consumer water use is <2% of all water use in the state. There's plenty of ads to cut your water use, or water after 7pm, etc... but wouldn't it be nice if maybe we outlawed alfalfa farming that uses 80% of the water (in a desert)? Of course the governor is an Alfalfa farmer, so good luck passing that. I've been thinking a lot about humanity needing to maybe form small communal living spaces where power tools, cars, toys, etc are maybe shared and stored in a common warehouse. Things that maybe we like to have around, but don't necessarily use everyday. This gives more room in our homes for the things that are necessary in our homes, so we can build smaller homes, or even just build an earthbag studio for every member in the family... or something that leaves a low footprint. TLDR; less consumerism would be huge, and we should strive for that, but it won't happen organically because people are people. Not unless it becomes a 'fad', then maybe... but a combination of 'some people' trying eco-villages, and the govt enforcing stricter rules and rolling out carbon-taxes, would maybe be the better option. Hopefully thinking mankind will just organize and fix what the politicians can't... is too optimistic for my blood.
