[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My only hope is that those of you rich enough to do these long haul flights all the time are doing something to combat climate change. I can't imagine living that lifestyle with zero regard to what you're doing to the planet.[/quote]

We have one kid and DH has worked from home for 4 years and has no plans to commute into an office.

So I’m not too concerned. The biggest thing anyone can do to fight climate change is to have 0-1 kids.[/quote]

There is very little that is done at the individual choice level that makes a climate change dent. I mean its good to do what you can like giving up a lot of meat, etc. But its this ridiculous fallacy of putting climate change down to individual action that allows the real, enormous drivers of climate change to never be in part of the conversation in the mainstream outside of the academics of it. Like concrete. When was the last time we talked about that and how consumers might drive that change? We don't. Gates' new book on it is very good and breaks this all down.[/quote]
