    I think as someone who did “the things”, and that’s how I live now, it’s hard to look around and see basically no perceptible difference. The incentive is slim for the individual. The bulk of the population is never going to make those changes.

      That’s why change needs to come from the corporate level through regulation.

      People generally just want food, shelter, health, and comfort. And most people in the world are struggling to maintain food and shelter.

      Their evironmental footprint doesn’t even register as an afterthought.

        That’s what I was going to suggest but then I always feel this is a complicated problem and it’s not just one thing. It’s a lot of efforts on in different areas, but regulation is certainly one. It shouldn’t be that hard to do considering it’s one of the main responsibilities of government.
