“This is fundamentally an infrastructure and public policy problem, not a problem of individual consumer choice.”
The infrastructure is the millions of barrels of oil and the policies & systems in place to maintain its distribution for profit. You may or may not be able to switch out your boiler or use your car less. Many people won’t have any other option without huge systemic changes. Making it about individual choices won’t fix it.
@largess @ajsadauskas @green “No-one has to drive a car” is a pretty sweeping statement that I would argue is also entirely factually wrong. If you live 10 miles from work somewhere where there’s been decades of no provision for any other form of transport, you need systemic change before not driving is an option.
