    Fortunately as an individual I don’t have to give up either and it’s pointless for me as well. As a member of society I will automatically adjust my habits to how we structure society. If society has decided to get rid of cars, then we are free to fly and eat meat while still massively decreasing total greenhouse gases to well below sustainable levels.

    For some reason, petroleum industry sponsored “think pieces” like this that proliferate through green communities always structure the problem as an individual one. I wonder why they are always framed that way?
