    You focus on carbon and energy reduction of the sectors I mentioned in my previous comment. You don’t stop this by telling Jane from Oswego to stop buying plastic novelty straws. You stop this by disincentivizing the production of plastic novelty straws as a whole. This is an issue of overproduction as much as it’s an issue of overconsumption.

    Individual people are not the vector that will subvert this crisis, unfortunately.
