I'll raise my hand here. The anxiety of seeing the Earth on an inevitable path towards ruin became overwhelming for me a few years ago. In order to deal with it, I have made some sacrifices. I live with roommates in order to reduce my energy use. I eat in ways that are more sustainable. I do not fly on planes. I drive a very efficient car and would walk/bike more, but I have a bad hip and am already fairly limited by it. The car still causes me some guilt. I don't believe that my individual sacrifices make any difference at all, and perhaps are just my own way of engaging in denial.
