I agree that there is a lot consumers can do through personal action, companies and corporations too. It needs a big all round effort. But many people on low incomes have difficulty in making environmental choices through no fault of their own. This is in part why I feel it is better to focus on Governmental action while encouraging personal action.
Sure, it absolutely varies from person to person. A poorer person probably isn’t flying around on vacations and eating lots of steak so they aren’t producing that much co2e anyway. So for some people it could be that the only action of any significang impact would be to vote and push the government to force everyone else to stop being so selfish.
@Anemia I agree that generally people on lower incomes will produce less greenhouse gases.
I have faith that we can still do enough to get on top of the climate crisis. But people find changing difficult, so it’s unlikely to happen as quickly as we’d like.
