Yes, I find it is very difficult to ask people to change their lifestyle habits. I can’t even get some people to recycle, imagine asking them to go vegan. We need to move beyond thinking of climate change as a problem for some committee to address. Change starts with us.

Answer: Urban vegans
Pointing out that a post dithering on abstractions of lifestyle-related greenhouse gas generation (and an increasingly frantic national dialog) excludes the largest easily-remedied contributor to greenhouse gas generation somehow offends you? Okay buddy. This is an internet blog comments section, not a formal dialog. It’s myopia such as yours that needs to be called out from this point on if anything positive is going to happen in this arena anytime soon. I don’t have pet issues, and we don’t have time for anything but the facts.

I’ve been living carless for the past 8 months or so. When I ride my bike, I get shit about it from my house-mates and their guests, as though I’ve deliberately set out to make them look bad! Car culture is so deeply ingrained in this society, it seems hopeless to try to get people to give it up one at a time. I think the best hope is to stop externalizing the costs, make the gas as expensive as the wars used to prop the prices down.
