Green capitalist bullshit here for sure. Buying a new car doesn't offset the fact that your car was produced in a factory fucking up the environment more than any individual household in the world. Buses still pollute, even though less than a car. Energy efficient light bulbs still need to be replaced. Electric bikes??? Just fucking normal bike!

Also this makes no mention of a large number of issues that are glaring: food consumption (cow farts are like 47% of methane production in the US or something), trash (have they never heard of solid waste pollution?), buying clothes, etc. You can't buy your way into zero carbon.

At the bottom they reference going vegan to reduce emissions per person 215 pounds per day of the week you switch, and buying local foods to cut on transport costs.

Who are they producing this document for? My guess is people who are interested in going more green but also have not been paying attention nor read anything on how dire the situation actually is. People who know just enough to care but don't care enough to act or learn?

I'm confused :/
