I proceed by doing my best and encouraging others to do the same. I’m in the processing of converting my yard to native plants (and have done the same in a few public spaces). I don’t consume animal products. I don’t commute. I don’t try and legislate my morality, though.

Explain more about “not legislating my morality” and how that relates to climate change.

I don't believe it will be effective to try and stand in the way of products or services people value. You can encourage people to "pause," but they won't unless someone makes them. I find it better to focus on things within my locus of control.

Do you think disparate, un-targeted actions will be enough? I’m concerned about our individual propensity to self-rationalize our behavior, actions, positions. Feels like it needs to be collective action (the same collective action that helped us deal with CFCs and ozone)

A worthy concern! But I wonder who would decide what is worth it, and what isn't. Do we outlaw all fossil fuels? Eating meat? The internet? The US govt. is terrible at prioritizing the climate (as evidenced by the war machine, and more). I trust people over power.

I've also seen incredible changes in attitudes and behavior the govt had no part in that give me hope. Eating local, gay rights, black lives matter, and many more. I believe in being the change, and when enough people do, the government tends to hop in front of the parade.

I’m down for this. So I’m going to try to convince as many individuals as I can to stop investing in crypto until we figure out the ecological impacts.

And I'll be supporting people who are trying to do crypto sustainably already, using renewables, excess energy, and so on. Many out there are doing this already.

How can crypto be done sustainably? (And what does that mean, exactly?)

It’s worth questioning the premise that the energy used to mine Bitcoin is “wasted.” This electricity goes to securing the network and processing transactions, and if we assume these are necessary features then comparing BTC’s electric use to the legacy system is worthwhile.

This belief that miners can always use energy that would otherwise be wasted is incorrect. https://www.cell.com/joule/fulltext/S2542-4351(19)30087-X?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS254243511930087X%3Fshowall%3Dtrue …pic.twitter.com/pxNmB1zpTT
