I've been thinking a lot about what my problem is. It's the talking itself. and talking and talking. It's this instagram-twitter good-riddance "i spread the message for karma" thing that's so hip today. Everybody presents the message, and only the corpos are to blame.

Where's the leverage the consumer has with their behaviour? Why don't we use that? Because it's uncomfortable. People want to travel 2 times a year, they want infinite stock in the supermarket, they want more, now, fast.

I don't mind people talking. But at the end it's useless if these people don't act also until we're fully renewable (or near that)

We still need the talking before anything an happen. In the past 3 years a lot in the public discourse has changed, and climate change is no longer a fringe alarmist issue. It's not enough, but it's one of the few ways to sway the public opinion.
