Fair enough, nice gotcha, it still doesn't change anything that I said.

Also, I forgot to add it to the other comment, and then I was just going to leave it out, but now I'm here again, so:

Yes it’s a start. What do you expect? The entire power grid and entire vehicle fleet to be redone in 2 years? Things take time

Fuck your "things take time", especially in a country that is both one of the richest and most polluting countries per capita in the world. A bunch of the world is becoming uninhabitable, storms become more frequent, some places are having a harder and harder time growing food, panama had to relocate people who lived on an island due to rising sea levels, and things are going to get exponentially worse, but "things take time guys, we can't rush it!"

Let me ask you this: are you vegan, avoid using plastic as much as possible, use public transport/walk/bike whenever possible, try to minimize your consumption as much as possible, try to buy locally, and overall do you just try to ethically consume? Or are you one of those "it's the government and corporations who have to do something"? Because you certainly can't be the second and then, when talking about one of the richest and most polluting countries in the world, say we need to take things slow.

The point is not a "gotcha". You are everything you project. I can't life coach you anymore.
