As an individual, I don’t eat meat, and I do recycle, but I think it’ll likely that most of this is going to the landfill anyway.
And I’d like an electric car, but there’s no charging infrastructure, so gas it is. There’s not a single one in town. I’m not allowed to install one. I would take the train or the bus if there was one. I don’t have access to public transportation.
And my commute is 45 minutes, so that’s a lot of carbon. I’d like to live closer, but I’m priced out of the market everywhere else. A short commute that reduces my fossil fuels reliance is a luxury I can’t afford.
Climate change isn’t really an individual issue. There isn’t anything you can do personally.
The real issue is systemic. It’s great that there are people out there that are in a good enough position in life to be able to make those changes conveniently. Most people aren’t tho and they are living day to day in survival mode.
