We should really be investing more in public transit, it’s way better than electric cars and could be way more convenient if implemented properly
Okay done. Now that I have eliminated this here my contribution to CO2 emissions, what do we do about the 100 companies that cause 70% of global CO2 emissions? Or is that no longer an issue once my car is taken out of circulation?
I mean… they’re making things for us generally. I don’t think they’re emitting recreationally. Look at a pie chart of total emissions and figure what you could cut to hit 50%. Do away with all transportation… Boats planes etc and you’re not even close.
If the average person cut out 100% of their carbon emissions for the rest on their life, they’d save, on average, the amount of CO2 that industry creates in ~1 second. Our personal emissions are but a drop in the ocean in the grand scheme. Change is best brought about by voting both metaphocally with our wallets and literally with our ballot papers.
Ok well good luck riding your non motorized ambulance to the hospital then.
The shitty, ableist, not well thought out point? I’m not gonna feel shit about this. Nothing you could say to make me feel different about that.
What purpose does this serve other than alienating the people you’re trying to get on your side?
You have to have the alternatives in place before you can convince people to make a change.
Buses already take hours vs. minutes and any road construction that closes stops & routes down adds time and distance to an already long commute.
If you want people to choose your option, you have to make it an option worth choosing.
I agree with all of these except the last one.
Cars don’t ruin cities, the assholes that drive them do.

It’s a joke lol, just a stab at the people driving cars in cities.
If you’ve ever spent any amount of time driving a car someplace like say, Atlanta GA, you’d know exactly where I’m getting at.
I spend time driving in Los Angeles.
Cars are bad for everything. Bad drivers (which is everyone, including me) only make it worse.
