Judging by the picture alone things can surely only get better. This is one of those classic cases of a tipping point needing to be reached before an "experimental" solution can be actioned.

Hopefully the solution is actually beneficial and not some "not plastic but still not good" alternative. In Vancouver they banned single use plastic bags for things like food takeout, and instead places now use small fabric bags. Yes they aren't single-use plastic, so they're better, but they might as well still be single-use.

I also fantasise about this lol

If you were doing nothing you'd probably feel less fulfilled

At least you're doing your part

They're better! We agree.

As with a lot of my responses here, you're only responding within the context of cities, and even more narrowly you're referring to downtown/commercial/recreational areas that need to be walkable.

You're right to say we should have more walkable cities, however it's not a valid argument against electrifying vehicles.

So what should people in areas not serviced by public transport do?

All avenues are important. Effort needs to be put into what you stated, but effort also needs to be put into helping people who are living month to month make the small changes that they are able to. Not everyone is in a privileged position of being able to upend their entire world without life changing consequences.

Exactly, well said chad ๐Ÿ’ช

The climate is going to suffer, there's no doubt about that. When that happens, obviously humans will try to fix it. Why be a doomer now when you could start fixing what you can?
