I try to convince others of the enormity of the situation. It is not easy, and people are ignorant, often times willfully so. However, the efforts are giving some fruit - convinced my coworkers to go and vote at the last election, to attend the protest marches in our town and to be mindful of their energy usage in the office and at home. Even managed to convince my bosses to switch the offices to renewable energy and get some e-bikes for the people that were a bit farther away to be comfortable with a regular bike so they don't commute by car that often.

However, I still believe that all these efforts are like a band-aid on a dying whale. It takes one colleague to take a trip to the Bahamas for all these small efforts to be washed away. And unfortunately most people don't want to try harder than that. They want their comfort, their cheap burgers and EasyJet flights. If all of this comes at the cost of screwing the future generations then so be it...
