      Well, that's kind of the point isn't it? If we as individuals start focusing on what we can do in the small scale, eventually new environmental policies and behaviors will be put into place on the large scale. She even mentions how people began boycotting certain chemicals which led directly to the government banning those products and strengthening the o-zone. Your point is literally talked about in the segment. Did you even watch the whole thing?

      @@jacobharrison6778 Yes true. But oftentimes these sorts of arguments are used to distract from the fact that systems such as corporations and governments (through their laws and regulations) play a much larger role in climate change than individuals who decide not to reduce their carbon footprints. Heck, the idea of a carbon footprint was coined by BP to imply that fixing climate change was an individual problem and not a corporate or political problem. Kinda similar with the plastics industry, which sponsored a bunch of ads opposing plastic waste but blaming "litterers" for the plastic crisis.

    1. Start using soda fountains where you get your personal reusable bottle filled, then ban sodas, juices, and water in plastic bottles. This technology alone would save possibly billions of tons in waste and is already used all over.
    2. Go back to using wax paper for wrapping sandwiches as this will eventually go back to nature. Ban plastic sandwich bags.
    3. Grocery stores should only be allowed to offer cloth, or back to nature plastic bags for customers that forget their own.
    4. Solar, wind, and water based electrical power generation should all be developed before any other less Eco friendly sources would be allowed.
    5. Now buildings can be built at any level without using wood, we should convert all housing and other construction to these products, and stop cutting down trees.
    6. We must start buying electric vehicles from bikes to cars, pickups, and SUV's. Also get solar panels on your vehicle. Even if it only gets you a few miles per day it all adds up to that much less pollution from coal and nuclear power generation stations.
    7. All maritime vessels should be fully equipped with solar panels and/or bladeless turbines that would help supplement or replace the power used from diesel generators. If a large vessel becomes totally free of polluting fuels great, but in the meantime any percentage we can reduce should be done.
    Now also use wind power including the use of a big free floating large air sail, and maybe regular masts and sails. Now use these to reduce even the electricity needed, making solar and wind recharging more likely without diesel.
    8. With solar, water, and wind generated power getting cheaper, and with batteries now available with much better storage capacities, and at much cheaper prices than before, we must all convert our homes and shops. This will stop massive amounts of coal and nuclear pollution along with the diesel used to mine and transport it.
    9. Build huge skyscraper style buildings all over for farming only, and then convert much of the agriculture into aquaponics, and hydroponics, then grow food products on all floors. This would allow multiple crops to be grown in the same buildings year round. These buildings will have a 24/7/365 regulated indoor climate creating way more food yield per area of land, per year. Conversion to this new way of growing should one day replace most land use for food production, then we can let some areas go back to nature. This is more than is possible with todays natural growth, due to seasonal considerations and the fact the earth has only has one floor to grow on.
    Since available area for agriculture is almost used up, we must make more somehow, and upward or underground are the only two ways I can think of.
    10. This is very important. WE MUST immediately set a population cap on earth and start imposing a one child law on all areas over that amount of density. In short the biggest threat to our existence is the massive consumption of resources to support us all. We need a one child law world wide, that is automatic once this density is reached. It must be enforced.
    11. We all must vote Green world wide before it is too late. Look around and see all the weather getting ever more erratic as we continue to pollute. In a very few years it will be too late. Voting Green now is something we all can do at every level, in every election, in every part of the world. This will make a difference, as it will not only get concerned people in elected positions, but will scare politicians from other parties into getting greener in order to stay elected.
    Above all please remember this, a mass shift in voting is one thing that will get much attention in political circles.

    "Supply and demand shifted because individual consumer habits shifted."
    The grammar of that sentence hints at the fact this doesn't make sense. "Individual consumer habits" can mean two things: "The individual habits of consumers" or "the habits of individual consumers." You can pronounce it with emphasis on "individual", but in both cases that doesn't mean anything. Resolving this ambiguity also spells out the reality of the matter:
    "Supply and demand shifted because the habits of consumers shifted."
    So, no. The choices you make as an individual do not directly impact anything. Not unless you can get other consumerS to join you.

      I mean duh. Though say, switching your home's electricity to a solar panel instead of relying solely on the mostly fossil fuel powered grid will have an impact on CO2 emissions. A miniscule and insignificant impact, but an impact nonetheless. Obviously the more people that do it the more effective it is.

    • @jbird4478
      @jbird4478 2 роки тому +1

      @@kenlandon6130 Yes, but she's bringing this up as an example that the choices you make as an individual would actually matter, because it affects supply and demand and thus the industry. That's simply not true. For example: I choose not to eat meat (for other reasons). I know that has absolutely zero effect on the meat industry unless I convince others to do the same. Industries don't manage supply on microscopic intervals but on steps. Only when there is a significant change in demand, do they scale down and actually change production methods. The bigger an industry is, the more people it takes before their "individual" choices have any effect at all.
