My guy, it's called realism. I already do what I can, unlike 99% of the rest of the world who have all significantly higher footprints than me and still cry about everything. Your toxic positivity is just going to help doom this moronic species because you think some positive thinking and online messages will do anything.
Where do you live? If you live in Northern America, or Europe, you most probably are not in the 1% that have the lowest carbon footprint in the world.
I don't want to remove any credibility or minimize any of your effort! I wish people would take it as seriously as you are, but just existing in a modern society is horrible for the environment.
I am more or less both, because I'm piss poor living in a rich country. I quite literally cannot afford to have a high emission lifestyle. I never owned a car, I never went on a plane, I don't have warm water, I had like 2 pants for the past 20 years, slept on the floor for more than half a decade, etc. etc. I simply can't play consumerism like most of you all.
More importantly though, I'm for very radical climate policies which obviously would be seen as extremism in our societies.
