Where we're going to get the most leverage and be most effective is through collective action. It doesn't mean we can't also make individual choices that benefit climate. (I'm vegan for instance.) It's about where power is located.

I agree about collective action- does anyone not? BUT we can’t lie to ourselves or others that we can go on the way we have been acting. Once we take collective action and get change, we will have to transform ourselves too. That will be easier if we start now, enthusiastically!
