[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do worry every day about the political and economic landscape my kids and grandkids will live in because of climate change. We should join together across the aisle (most Americans are not as polarized as it seems) to address this.

I also look in my shopping cart to reduce plastic waste. If you're going to wash your fruits and vegetables, then you don't need a plastic produce bag. There are mesh ones you can use to keep limes together if you want.

Bezos is killing the earth with the plastic waste his businesses generate. Whole Foods alone is ridiculous with all their single serve food items in little plastic boxes.

I am not sure Americans can adjust their desires for large SUVs and 68 degree cooled large houses, even for their own kids. [/quote]

This touches on why so many people don't really want to change her behavior or believe that changing their behavior can matter. Even if done on a mass scale. It would involve being inconvenienced.

And people don't want to be inconvenienced and so they convince themselves that anyone who worries about this stuff is an overly paranoid far-left nutter. Or that the problems simply don't exist, in spite of all of the evidence

It's really disheartening[/quote]
