Fantastic, every step is worth it!
Also, I wish you had someday a decent public transportation where you live no to be tied to the car.
Is it really?
Do these small personal changes matter anything at all in the big picture?
It seems to me we all, like everyone living in a rich country on the entire earth, need to drastically change our way of living, in order for it to actually matter anything.
It just seems so improbable that we will be able to stop this thing, that it seems pointless to even try.
Sorry for the negativity. But I really have a hard time feeling anything other than hopelessness, and in the end indifference, when it comes to the climate crisis.
Only people who are too lazy to do anything say stuff like this. There are 8 billion of us. If everybody did something small that would make a huge difference.
Imo that's a harmful look on this issue. Everyone should contribute, of course, but this will never be enough. The real impact can only come from country/worldwide policy changes. Research your election candidates on those topics and vote!
