    But a lot of people do give a shit but are realistically powerless to effect change.

    They could’ve started by voting for parties and candidates that want to actually do something. But the matter of the fact is that all climate actions cost money and will affect us, and that’s not what voters want. And yes, swapping your car for alternatives and eating less or no meat & diary products is actually having a big impact. Same with where and what you buy as those large companies that everyone cries about are in the end still producing their shit for you and me.

      The vast majority of people don’t understand any of the words you just wrote, and they especially don’t understand how it relates to voting.
