You speak of living in the city as somehow being better for the climate? My dream is to live in the country side so that I can grow my own food, have animals and take water from the earth and not being as dependent on a big functioning society. Partly because I believe this life is way better to simply live but also partly because I think it is better for the environment. I grow my own food so that I get more nutrient dense food and don't contribute to the monoculture that is the case of all agriculture today. Also, I will never use any chemicals on my food that destroy the environment. I salute the insects and the animals and thanks to not having a monoculture I can grow food without it being destroyed. I will host bees in my garden and raise my own animals which I then will slaughter and eat. They will live as good of a life they can, I won't support the horrible practices of many meat industries. I will live pretty far from a big city though, not by choice but because I can't afford to live closer and because all the municipalities focus on building big apartment blocks where crime is high and you are super dependent on society. Also, since I have my garden I will not have much waste since animals eat most of the food waste and the other I can easily recycle. Sure I will need a car to get into town but I plan for it to be electric and I will also utilize my electric bike whenever I can. Not by choice but because there is no stores nearby. I am not a boomer, so I guess your anger is not directed towards me, but you should be more careful of hating on people in which you don't know.

You speak of living in the city as somehow being better for the climate? I wasn't but I'd think yes it's better. Collectively more 'efficient' w/ infra & logistic scaling. My dream is to live in the country side so that I can grow my own food, have animals and take water from the earth and not being as dependent on a big functioning society. Me too! Dearly. While trying to minimize driving around, and live the most 'organic' possible (Self water, dry toilet. etc..) I will live pretty far from a big city though, not by choice but because I can't afford to live closer Can't blame you. I am not a boomer, so I guess your anger is not directed towards me, but you should be more careful of hating on people in which you don't know. 'Boomer' is mainly a lifestyle. I'm not rabid at an age group. I perfectly know some boomer-aged people are well aware and caring and acting. For the others, there is no time anymore to be 'careful'.

  People will do whatever is nice and economical. If you want people to make certain choices, the easiest way is to make the "wrong" choice uneconomical. > I wasn't but I'd think yes it's better. Collectively more 'efficient' w/ infra & logistic scaling. I completely disagree. People used to live on the country side and take care of both earth and tools. Today, labor is expensive and materials are cheap so people will toss away stuff. City life is all about just consuming and it will automatically lead to people getting disconnected from the stuff that truly matters. What bothers me most is when I travel outside my country and realize there is practically no recycling, even if it is very easy to do so.
