For a start you could get active in local politics and support zoning reform. Car dependent infrastructure is a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and I am not just talking about car exhaust.
If we want to solve climate change we need to change our way of life, and that means ditching as many cars as possible.
what? it's too late for that.
we are all actually going to die. changing a zoning rule? you think that's going to help?
if there's an avalanche that is seconds away from enveloping you in snow and killing you, do you suggest walking a few steps to the side? it won't do anything. the math is too much at this point to change with recycling a can or planting a tree. the only thing that will get the world to finally believe in math is massive amounts of death
make peace with death, it's coming for us all
Lets ditch politicians first...
I'm pretty sure the only way to solve this is by an extension of politics though another means. Are you ready?
I'm not sure I'm ready no, but this is a problem that can and has been solved through less dramatic means.
I would like to hear some encouraging examples for the has part of "can and has". (Bearing in mind the chart from this post)
It seems to me that market forces are in charge of us, and I don't believe we're going to escape the death spiral we're in. I would of course love to be wrong.
