This reminds me of how people don't do the most effective actions to protect the environment like: - have one fewer child (60 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents) - live car free (2.5 tons) - avoid one round-trip trans-Atlantic flight (1.5 tons) - Buy green energy (1.3 tons) - Buy a more efficient car (1.2 tons) The source lists a chart with more actions: https://www.science.org/content/article/best-way-reduce-your-carbon-footprint-one-government-isn-t-telling-you-about https://www.science.org/content/article/best-way-reduce-your...
