    As individuals we can try, but the average population is too selfish and isn’t going to stop until it’s too late

    Between the likes of pollution, deforestation, wars, extinction of species to name a few…the only thing that could save this planet is humanity somehow becoming infertile.

      I don’t know if it’s really selfish more people are a part of a system that is bigger than them that forces them into situations that have a negative impact on CO2 levels

      Working a job that has low pay which probably force people to housing that is further from their work place, in America most cities don’t have a great public transportation infrastructure nor do they have alternative commuting options like protected bike lanes. This forces people to have to drive more.

      The Return to Office bullshit has forced more cars on the road that were not there 4 years ago which is impacting CO2 levels

      These are just 2 of many different things that the system has created that have put people in situations that make slowing CO2 levels more difficult.

        Yeah I mean…we are all born into an already existing system. I guess we could all kill ourselves to help the planet, but that’s not really a great option for the self. I don’t have the power to change my country’s infrastructure as a singular being.
