ok, don't drive or ride in a car then
What part of this is it that you dont understand?
but you are contributing to the problem? don't be a hypocrite.
every single time you use the car, think of the animals etc that you are harming. the greenhouse gases especially
Yes surely we can make individual solutions to systemic issues
yes, we can all play our part. reduce usage of cars at least? or take public transport more that's what i'm doing.
Good for you - I bike nearly everywhere and if that's not possible I take public transport.
These actions does not in any way change the underlying structural issues. They are not a solution, at best they can be described as patch-work.
My biking to work doesn't change the facts that we've designed a world reliant on cars, which is the only reason why we think cars don't suck. But cars are a necessity for quote a large part of the population. Posing individual solutions like "I just don't do it" does not change this fact. Using a car because it is necessary, despite hating cars is not hypocrisy.
Solving this issue that is the car-reliant society requires structural change, not individual solutions.
