    Anything but individual action is magic and flowery language. A system, a group, a corporation, an institution is made of individuals. How does ANY action start if not initiated by individuals? I will concede that cleaning up your own behavior may not move the needle much, but changing “the system” still requires individuals to take actions. What are you waiting for? Some magical hive mind to fix things?

      Do you honestly think that wasn’t implied in me advocating for government action? If this is what you’re clinging to, you’re lost.

          You’ve gone from strawmaning me to ad-hom purity testing, asking me to make non-falsifiable statements you could just dismiss as bullshit. Why be so dishonest when the fate of our civilisation is at stake? Why not acknowledge there’s a point here and take it on board instead? Make yourself more effective?

            Dance with words all you want. I’m personally doing as much as I can to reduce my environmental footprint. You are just blowing hot air.
