Brother, a huge chunk of people outside of Europe can't do things like choose cleaner energy sources, choose to use public transportation, choose to live car free, choose to eat local produce, or choose to do any of those things in the articles you listed, because those choices do not exist for them. I don't have access to local produce except a few weekends in the summer. My city doesn't have functional public transportation. My apartment doesn't let me choose where I get my energy from, and even if it did, there probably wouldn't be a clean energy option in my state. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if more coal power plants were being built, due to lobbying and politicians that I voted against. Don't you see how it's frustrating when you say that these individual actions need to be the focus when it's impossible for a ton of people to take those actions?
