If you don’t have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌🙌 🙌

Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI’s crap. Those are great ideas. But, don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.

            I am not the one making excuses about individual climate action. I take individual climate action. I’m vegan, I am electrifying my house, I have consistently reduced my consumption. I aim for a lifestyle that would scale up to the whole world.

            If you think we need to eliminate the wealthy or nothing is worth doing, then do the thing you think is worth doing. I’m doing plenty, I’m not the one making excuses.
