> 1. Get a little bit informed. It doesn't require a PhD, it could be done instead of a fraction of the time they spend scrolling bullshit on their smartphone.

The problem is that as soon as you start digging into it, you're essentially walking in a guilt trip.

The kind of "eating an hamburger pollutes more than driving an SUV for 50 miles" guilt trip.

And you realize most of the focus should be on materialism, consumerism and how/what you eat, not just cleaner transport.

But who really wants to do so? I myself am aware that me eating a beef steak per week has a gigantic impact on environment and resources. That switching to pork > chicken > eggs in that same meal would be better.

But I just don't want to enter the guilt trip. So I do a bit, but not as much as I could.

A carbon tax should help there. Make it so me eating a steak is not incentivized. But then good luck with farmers, the easiest like and empathy grabbing category of workers on the planet.
