The environmental hypocrisy argument doesn't work . Individual users giving up stuff will not solve climate change only large changes will .
You’re correct. Individual users giving up stuff won’t solve climate change - I couldn’t agree more. But it would be a huge help.
One gallon of the petrol you put in your car produces 20 pounds of carbon dioxide. There are, very roughly, 1.4 billion passenger vehicles in the world. If each of these vehicles used an average of just one less gallon of fuel per week, that would keep more than 700 megatonnes of CO2 out of the atmosphere every year. Add in the emissions you get from building fewer cars (they’ll last longer) and producing and transporting the fuel (you’ll need less), etc and you’re within striking distance of a gigatonne.
One. Gallon. Per. Week.
