I do all that already. It is a drop in the bucket. That plan, to make individuals responsible for fixing climate change, is what the big industrial monopoly polluters pay the big media monopolies to tell us so that we don't force the major polluters to stop polluting so much.

This is the same plan as the little green triangle to get us all to "recycle" our plastic. We do, but it the vast majority of plastic doesn't get recycled, and hasn't since the little green triangle was introduced by lobbyists of plastic producers around 50 years ago. The problem is massive industrial plastic production, not individuals recycling plastic.

The problem is massive, industrial pollution, not individuals riding our bikes.

I will continue to live as sustainably as I can, but I'm not fooling myself into thinking that if everyone did the same it would solve our pollution problem.
