As a (hopefully) intelligent, responsible adult, I am at a loss as to what to do that will have any effect. I’ve installed solar, and a heat pump water heater, I don’t have AC despite the sweltering temperatures. I eat primarily plants. I vote for the party that lies to me most persuasively that they will do something about the environment, though I know neither party will do anything of substance.
And yet I turn around and feel that all my efforts are undermined by neighbours who take their giant trucks and 5th wheels or travel trailers on long summer drives at 4 miles per gallon for fun.
Until we have COVID-style restrictions on our lives, we as a society will never voluntarily give up all the bullshit that is feeding climate change.

When food, shelter, energy, etc. become scarcer and more expensive, we will change our way of life, whether we like it or not.
- avgcorrection 3y agoThis is what 40 years of propaganda by the likes of British Petroleum (the ones who invented “carbon footprint”) about how climate change is about middle class people making consumer choices does to you.
