Take some time here on Lemmy and explain to people that they should make individual efforts to lower their own footprint. You'll be met with every excuse in the book why they won't do something to decrease their own burden, even going so far as to "explain" to you how dumb the suggestion even is.

The problem is that no one wants to decrease their own quality of life, they expect everyone else to do it. The person who is sitting in their AC house, cruising the Internet on their multi-hundred dollar phone, after driving around in their own vehicle...have convinced themselves that they are no the wealthy of the year spewing out way more emissions...it's really the people flying private jets!

Everyone points to someone else as a bigger culprit, they are the ones who have to act first.
