I think it would take alot to slow climate change. Look at the products at the store and think about what we had when we were kids. Im 43 some of u older and younger. I remember metal toys that were handed down. Now everything is plastic and junk, it is amazing if it lasts a couple weeks. Then we throw it out or recycle it.
How about buying anything else? everything has to be in a huge plastic case to get your attention.
Buy a new fuel efficient car? More plastic and they use a coal biproduct in the plastic to make it non conductive. Then all the fancy machines that need to be made to make the new fancy car. Then they need to make more special tools to fix the new car. Now we need to send technicians all over to schools to learn how to work on the new cars. Open the hood of a new car and look at the plastic covers and crap not needed just to make it look good compared to a 1971 jeep.
Im not sure about the new electric vehicles yet. Batteries are not environmentally friendly. And you need to plug them into a coal fired electric plant to charge them. It seems like you are doing the right thing, no gas and no emmissions out of the tail pipe. Out of sight out of mind. I would like one compared to a gas car for 100,000 miles. I might be wrong.
I worked at a heavy truck shop for 4 years. Most of my work was fixing all the emissions crap on the new trucks that were only a couple years old. You couldnt give me a truck with emissions on it.
Everyone needs their house to have air condition and heated to 72 all year long. And they think they need a 4000 sq ft house for a family of 4.
I dont think we can slow global warming, people are too lazy and would rather have convenience. Plus the people pushing it have huge houses, private jets and huge boats. If the people pushing this want us to follow they shouldnt have climate change meetings where they all fly in jets. My son does cyber school, why cant they do it over the computer? Yeah they are made of plastic too.
It would be great to slow climate change I just dont think most people could do it. They are lazy and dont care.
