How about a C) You work for a company that is trying to solve climate change, and at the same time in your personal life focus on decreasing your carbon footprint?
There is no reason why one cannot do both, if they want to. You'd think people that are conscious enough to seek out a climate-relevant job such as OP would also be conscious enough to care about their individual impact to climate change).
- ephbit 4y ago> There is no reason why one cannot do both, ... I want to agree but I think this is not completely true. People's mental capacity to consciously decide what little things they do in daily life and how they do them is a limited ressource. If you agree with me that shaping the demand side (what products/services you demand as a consumer) is more effective than trying to starve the labour market of non-green sectors by not working for them ... then you should prioritize having an eye on consumption. > You'd think people that are conscious enough to seek out a climate-relevant job such as OP would also be conscious enough to care about their individual impact to climate change. There are certainly people who manage to do both. But there are also people who don't. I just think it's really important to make it clear which of the two is more important/useful .. so that people waste less time with the less important/useful aspect .. and to me it's obvious that changing the little things of daily life is far more important/useful.
