Environmentalists all scream climate change but nobody is willing to change their lifestyle. Putting plastics in a blue bin wouldn’t qualify as making any sort of change and if it does then we’re all environmentalists.

Will you answer my questions if I answer yours?
I live in a small apartment when I could live in a house. I have no children. I rarely drive except for work. My work vehicle is a minivan and I turn down business often because I refuse to drive a larger, less efficient vehicle. I live in the beltline and walk a lot or take transit. I haven't flown or taken a roadtrip more than 300km in years (decades actually). I fantasize about driving a sports car for pleasure but can't bring myself to getting one. I bought Hue bulbs for my place so I can dim them even in fixtures that don't support that normally, and I have timers set so I don't have them on needlessly. I do all kinds of stuff I can't even think of right now.
I could do lots more. I'm trying to eat less meat but my willpower is weak in that regard. I buy stuff I don't need but I'm paring down my hobbies. I only buy music and video games digitally. I only order from Amazon if I have at least 4 or 5 things, although they often deliver them separately anyway, which annoys me.
And what do you care? If it's bull#### then what I do doesn't matter does it? You're just looking for a hypocrisy angle because that's all you have. Show me facts that prove it's wrong. I wish like hell it was. I love Formula 1 racing and want them to "bring back the ####ing v12s". I enjoyed boomtime Alberta and I fear what will happen when oil isn't our lifeblood. I doubt our ability to change and don't want to live if we things get anywhere near as bad as the "alarmists" say. Mass migration and food/water shortages could cause the end of the golden age we live in. That'll be far worse than the pain our economy would endure to prevent it. Will you be around to see it? I doubt it or you'd be scared too.
Good enough? Your turn.
