    There’s nothing the average person can do to significantly curb their CO2 emissions. We still have to use electricity, drive cars to get to work and errands, and buy food grown with fossil fuels. The best the average person can do is to NOT have any children. The second best is to stop eating all meat, or at least greatly curb eating meat, especially beef.

    I’ve already done both of those due to personal preferences but I doubt most people are willing.

    Paper straws and reusable bags are nice but they ain’t doing shit. Most Americans can’t choose public transport most of the time. There really aren’t major things we can do besides push for politicians to regulate emitters more/
