> I am so done with virtue signalling that puts the responsibilty on the individual instead of holding corporations and policy makers accountable as the main systemic culprits.
I agree with you on this point, but staying in one place instead of commuting to and from work every day really does reduce the carbon footprint of most drivers. For people who take transit or bike to work, this may be a moot point.
Commuting,as a neccessity, is also for the policy makers to fix imo, after they have put billions (trillions?) into road infrastructure. Channel it to public/mass transport if you are serious about decreasing carbon footprint of individuals in that aspect.
I agree with that. Plenty of European and East Asian cities have massive commuter load with a way smaller per-commuter energy footprint than in the USA.
