@intermobility@jackofalltrades@thomasgoldberg@immibis@gerrymcgovern@tobi82@SheDrivesMobility@uanrah we have to do both - vote for taxes on things that cause climate change & stop giving money to the corporations that are causing the most climate change. Carbon footprint doesn't really capture that, but neither does ignoring the impacts of our individual decisions. Who we bank with doesn't fit in the old carbon footprint model but absolutely makes a difference to the future climate. Similarly I only vote every few years, but when I bike to work or use a local credit union instead of a big bank:
I'm not giving money to a corporation that will be used to lobby my government against climate change
I'm making a visible choice in my own neighborhood
I'm making it easier for other people to make the same choices
Like not everybody can do everything, but we should all be doing something.
