The only way we have any hope is to end the fossil fuel industry. The carbon footprint was a propaganda concept created by the industry to distract us from THEIR responsibility and put the onus on us.
Don’t buy this crap. If we don’t shut down oil and gas and coal, we are dead. Period.
I never owned a car and my carbon footprint is probably pretty small. But that means nothing. But I write directly to oil executives urging them to think about their children and grandchildren and the living hell they are creating for them.
It may not work but at least success could have a meaningful impact.
