you need hundreds of Californians to turn vegan in order to net the benefit of one Saudi aristocrat.

Which can inspired by one person whether they be a friend or family member. People need to be provided with good examples around them to do better. Incremental change is what leads to societal change.

The "actual solution" is several large economy-wide industry-scale structural changes to manufacturing and transportation. That's what we've seen in every country that successfully reduced their carbon emissions.

You’re leaving out a crucial component. The societal shift to a plant-based diet.

I don’t care how “small” my climate actions are, I’m going to keep doing them as it’s my personal responsibility and to show others there is a better way of doing things. We need to stop expecting silverbullets to every problem we face in life as that stunts our growth.

A lot of people say “don’t do anything better because the rich ride private jets!” however that makes their behaviour more permissible since if we can’t be clean ourselves how the hell are we going to convince enough people to hold them accountable at some point for their climate recklessness. We need to ingrain the values of sustainability in people.

There’s also the factor of peer pressure the more one recycles the more encouraged everyone else is to do the same.

Having an older reddit account is great for advocacy purposes since people tend to trust the older ones more. I proudly have a 2 year badge on mine. But I often wonder how much more effective with the message I could’ve been with a 15 year old one.
