    That’s just it. It is about picking battles.

    We are at (actually well past but…) the tipping point. Climate change is happening and we are going to see sea levels rise in our lifetimes (within the next decade or so, as per some studies).

    Changing to clean energy is something that will take massive infrastructure changes and we needed to be doing that literally decades ago.

    Eating a few less hamburgers and working on a more climate friendly diet can have impacts in as little as a quarter. If enough people even slightly shift their diets, that will lead to massive supply chain changes and shifts in demand. Which will actually make a difference. Nowhere near as big of one but one that can actually be done.

    If your worldview is “nothing I do as an individual matters so I won’t do anything” then… okay. But this is literally something we can do and see change in the short term.
