I mean... I'll contribute and do my part because I do care, and that's the type of person I am, but we do need regulation in place for the top contributors to global warming and pollution, which are corporations and celebrities.

Plus, it's bullshit to say that you should take a bus or train or bike or whatever instead of a car when you have disgusting car-centric infrastructure that forces you to drive.

I'd be happy to switch to a smart thermostat if they weren't all so privacy-invading. Nest, the most popular one, is owned by Google, and there's no Google in my home. I'm completely deGoogled and will keep it that way.

I live in a city where the train passes once every 55 minutes, and the bus has a very high chance of skipping runs and feel like its going to dismantle with a breath of air.
