    As an individual, I don’t eat meat, and I do recycle, but I think it’ll likely that most of this is going to the landfill anyway.

    And I’d like an electric car, but there’s no charging infrastructure, so gas it is. There’s not a single one in town. I’m not allowed to install one. I would take the train or the bus if there was one. I don’t have access to public transportation.

    And my commute is 45 minutes, so that’s a lot of carbon. I’d like to live closer, but I’m priced out of the market everywhere else. A short commute that reduces my fossil fuels reliance is a luxury I can’t afford.

    What’s a guy to do?

      Climate change isn’t really an individual issue. There isn’t anything you can do personally.

      The real issue is systemic. It’s great that there are people out there that are in a good enough position in life to be able to make those changes conveniently. Most people aren’t tho and they are living day to day in survival mode.
