    wandering off into the woods is the biggest personal offset you can make.

    what about destroying fossil fuel extraction or transportation projects?

      Well that’s not really personal anymore.

      Like say you blow up an oil rig or tanker… Congrats, you just made huge a carbon footprint.

      Now say oil equipment gains a habit of being sabotaged, consistently. If it’s one person, It’s a problem for law enforcement. If it’s a consistent thing, fossil fuels have just become more expensive to produce statistically

      Or, you know, we could pass a tax or regulate them properly

      Regardless, my point is that climate change is a systematic problem, thinking of it in terms of individual action is already flawed
