This is your own agenda and I am pretty sure implementing these solutions does not cost you much personally.

What cost have you chosen to bear ? Do you exclusively use public transport ? Have you banned planes from your life ? Home delivery (the last mile is the one that creates the more pollution) ? What share of your revenue do you give to plant trees ?

> You need to send signals like this to the market well in advance so they can invest and plan ahead.

We are talking about billion dollars of investment at stake. You need years to train engineers, develop new technologies, ...

The role of politics is not only to implement policies but also to signal where we are heading so that a decentralized solution can be achieved.

I gave some examples of things that come to mind to me, some of them cost very little. I am sure that the big impact does not come just from actions like the ones I mentioned but from small changes that accumulate.

One thing is for real, every one of us could be doing more. It is not enough to just delegate this problem to someone else, politician or otherwise.

I know that it is very hard to change habits, more so when you are not seeing the outcome. But in the end it is just about doing what you believe is fixing the problem, not delegating.

Somehow I see a finger pointed at me, telling me to do more. The finger should be pointed at each and one of us, telling us to do more, and vote better.
