@jpaskaruk @nathaliaassaad Seems to me that this discussion could benefit significantly from switching the focus from what *other people* should do to what we individually have done and will do. From my perspective, I don’t need to read any more hot takes about idealized solutions. I want to see more about successful concrete steps people have taken to actually reduce their own and their communities’ carbon footprint 2 comments

I think the idea that individuals are going to solve this through individual actions is silly. The vast majority of the pollution is done by corporations, and you cannot just decide you're not going to buy anything corporate. Likewise, my community alone cannot make a significant difference to the future even if we all went Amish. A massive and unreasonable movement is needed. I have no idealized solutions. There will be work, and suffering, more each day we no act. |

@Dogzilla @jpaskaruk @nathaliaassaad Moved to a walkable area near shopping, about a mile from hub's work, rarely drive my car at all. We rent our burb house at a sub market rate to our kidlet since they work close to where the house is. We have walkable access to the trolley and buses now and can get pretty much anywhere in the city in 20 minutes on those if we want.
