It's important for each of us to do our part. It's even better when we help others do theirs. But, we really need to not lose sight of the fact that the (extreme) majority of pollution is industrial, and private outsized use.
It's fun that X airline does carbon offsets. But, at the end of the day that private flight that someone took, his a significantly outsized impact.

I suspect the “everyone must do their part” mentality is at best useless, and perhaps a major blocker, for devising effective techniques and systems to address the wide variety of issues that have been thrown together under the banner of “climate”.

Putting the cognitive load on individuals to each do a tiny bit on each individual problem is a stupidly ineffective and inefficient way to do almost anything. Much better to have either change made to how industries operate, or redesign how the system works so that whatever the desired outcome for individuals becomes the easiest and simplest option.
