If you don’t have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌 🙌
Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI’s crap. Those are great ideas. Also, don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.
I can travel by train? Lol. Nice bubble you must live in.
Maybe not but there’s a good chance your town has a local bus system. Whether it’s any useful is another question, but it’s worth at least looking at the routes/schedules in case it’s one of the lucky few cities that’s kind of tried to make their bus system not suck.
Ikr, public transportation just gets worse and worse around here. Metro barely covers 10% of the city and is expensive, buses are incredibly unreliable. I still manage to get around without a car, but its so frustrating.
I think they were implying that if that was not something that was negotiable then you could move onto reducing red meat intake.
Guess all of Europe is a bubble now?
Or…all of most of the rest of the world outside the US. It’s the bubble calling the bubble kaleidoscopic…or something more clever than that
