      It’s not enough. We (rich and not so rich) must either consume less, or be less people.

      The first route involves changing technologies AND habits. And I’m not talking about recyclable bags or save water at home.

        You change habits by making it more expensive to do unsustainable shit. Very few states here in the US are willing to properly tax carbon emissions. Very few Americans are willing to remove the subsidies that the beef industry enjoys which would see steak at $35/lb.

        Just saying “consume less” does very little. People respond to incentives. Peoples’ wallets are big incentives.

          On the other hand, this problem is global. We all need to work together in order to succeed. That’s the hardest part.
