Well, I am not. That is not an "average" person at all, how many people in the world would that be, 5%?

Ok, so we need to step-up recycling and run EVs or CO2-neutral fuels. That's not that far.
> Phones, computers, tablets, etc. etc. use rare metals in production, and last a relatively short period (5 years if you're lucky, at least ime). Also unsustainable.
I believe we're already pretty good at recycling these? It's also not that large amount, maybe 10 phones and 10 computers per person per lifetime?
> A lot of electricity is generated using fossil fuels.
That's not a lifestyle problem, more of technological problem.
It all sounds like a matter of progressing further and expanding on what we're already doing. I imagine the sub-urban lifestyle would be something that needs to change, but it's such a corner case that in the global scale it won't matter that much.
