I think the issue is that while there is no social policy wide drive to fix anything, anything you do as an individual is a drop in the ocean. Of course you should take reasonable steps, but needing to commute can be fixed with reliable high speed rail and buses etc. Unfortunately, there will need to be incentives towards particular outcomes and rationing if that fails. This is a huge existential problem. I don't blame individuals for isolated actions, but I do blame them if they resist political and economic solutions.
The problems we have are primarily problems of production. If production is adjusted, consumption will adapt if it is managed well.
