"I don't think individuals should make non-mandated changes to help the environment".
Then why bother recycling? Why both conserving water? Why bother using anything but single-use plastics? Why bother mulching your leaves? Why bother getting an energy-efficient furnace? Why bother collecting rainwater in a barrel in the backyard? Why bother bicycling to work rather than driving?
Why bother with any of these things?
Doing any of these things is not mandated by law, but people do them anyways.
Are people wrong?
