changing that is going to take a decade at the minimum.

And that’s way too optimistic

Best time to start was years ago, second best time to start is now. Maybe we can start by voting in favor of the next public transit initiative in our respective local elections.

Of course, but the point is that EVs are a useful step, even if transit is the goal and start now.

Also that it’s going to take quite a while. Yes, we need to plant that tree ASAP and we need to take really good care of it and we need to appreciate shade as we get it ….. but also realize it won’t be full grown until long after we’re gone.
