(8,710 posts)But anyone not willing to go along with them is basically told that we don't care about climate change.
What am I willing to do? I minimize driving for errands, combining as many things into one trip as possible, I've installed energy efficient siding, windows, & HVAC, gone all LED for lighting, utilize reusable shopping bags, and recycle whatever I can.
But am I going to give up flying to see my daughter and her husband a couple of times per year? Nope.
Am I going to give up my range for hot plate and tell my other daughter to come over for dinner anymore? Nope
Am I going to give up the robot vacs and use a manual sweeper and spend 30 minutes sweeping my floors every day when I get home from work to handle the dog hair and stuff they bring in from outside? Nope.
Am I going to sell my detached house with the big yard and move into an apartment or condo in order to reduce my carbon footprint? Nope.
