Yes, it probably is the best that you personally can reasonably do, but I think the point is that the responsibility shouldn't be put on working individuals who cannot really do anything beyond that. It's very plausible that public transportation that doesn't suck could be implemented in a few years if there were political will for it. It's just hard to believe that if you live somewhere that has never in your lifetime had the political will for public transportation that doesn't suck.
Nope, building proper public transit would be better, then you can take a single tram, metro etc to work in 8 minutes.
Find a different job? WFH? Bike? Buying an EV is just buying another car that keeps our already crappy infrastructure in use.
Well whatever car you choose it will be bad for the environment at varying degrees. EV is better for the environment but the battery it uses was likely mined by a 7 year old slave. Enjoy your choices.
What an odd reply. You want me to feel bad for you due having cancer then turn around and brag about something that shouldn't be bragged about? I'm glad you're better than me, bud. Nice job.
