I agree with you AND the emphasis still needs to be on collective rather than individual action. Individualism. It's what we know, breath, eat, live in this country. To primarily focus on individual activity doesn't challenge the dominate, status quo narrative. And we need to.
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!
Here, here! I am very much in agreement with you. I think you and I are orientated toward collective action. But many of our fellow citizens are not. That's why I was reacting so passionately to framing that emphasizes individual over collective action.
See this exchange on effective carbon strategies btw @drvox and Hal Harvey, an energy policy expert as they discuss lifestyle behavioral changes vs policy. Policy is where the lever is. Good policy is possible through collective action (ex #GreenNewDeal) https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2018/11/16/18096352/climate-change-clean-energy-policies-guide …pic.twitter.com/nt5qHi0wXo
