    I don’t agree with you. Many individuals changing their behavior is what it takes for an economic shift in our society. By thinking that we don’t have an impact we loose motivation to change our behavior. So if you say you are annoyed by big supermarkets filling our planet with waste that’s fine, I agree. But this needs to lead to a change in behavior, first of yourself, then for those who notice you haven’t died from eating mostly vegan products and buying from local farmers markets and then hopefully for most people in our society.

    Companies produce as long as people consume their products. If commnsumers switch to sustainable products (quite different from products advertised as sustainable) companies will have to follow

      I’m not saying your personal choices are bad, I’m saying if you live as sustainably as possible, you’re only delaying the inevitable by a millisecond at best. Change needs to be forced, globally, or we’re still in the same situation, just by 2051 with a massive “green movement” instead of 2050.

      But this talk we’re having, it’s all too late.

      We’re entering an era of climate induced super weather that will force the hand of leaders across the globe.

      It’s gotten to the point where it’s becoming cheaper and more strategically significant to do something about climate change, than it is to ignore it. That’s when the change happens under our system.
