MODERATORS
Yeah, this one takes far more time to solve, but as individuals, we can still have some sway!
A vegan cyclist, for example, who doesn't fly or spend time on a cruise ship can hit several major contributors to greenhouse gases with little effort. If they use green energy, that's another major industry down. How they decide to shop can tackle a few more.
Who they vote for can also impact those areas that they have no direct influence over (i.e. certain manufacturing industries of raw materials).
This is all very easy to do on an individual basis, and don't affect one's quality of life, but multiply that by a million or a billion people and we WILL see a positive change.
The hard part is convincing someone to make easy changes to their life. 😩
