    I’m not saying don’t make personal changes.

    I am saying it is impossible to fix the problem with individual change and fossil fuel companies know that.

    And we can prove that they have paid marketing companies to convince the public that the impossible solution is the one we should choose.

    The only viable solution is for a small fraction of the individuals to force change by creating political and legal pressure for systemic change.

      All change is individual change, big change is lots of individual change bundled together.

      Vote, protest, make climate-conscious life choices, give your money to corporations and organizations that are helping. Do all of that as much as you are able, which is different for everyone.

      Voting is important, but so is the rest of it. Do it all.

        Sure, do it all.

        But know that the fossil fuel industry is paying marketing companies to convince individuals that their carbon footprint matters. Because it benefits them to do so.

          It does matter. It’s just not the only thing that matters.

            Don’t tell me. Tell the fossil fuel industry and their marketing firms.

            They are the ones that disagree with you.
