changes at the individual’s level like this are meaningless on the scale at which carbon emission is occurring. for example, you could switch off every car, truck, boat, plane, train, ambulance, motorbike, etc. and you would reduce carbon emissions by less than 20%. _all_ residential usage (including electricity created by fossil fuels) by 10%. [1] alternatively, you could switch off carbon production across all of the EU and the US. all of it. you’d cut global CO2 emissions by %15 (for the US) and ~9%. [2] climate change is real and man-made. we need to tackle the actual causes of it, rather than make individuals lives harder: i’ve used many induction/electric cookers and they all _suck_.
