It's difficult for regular working-class people to do anything meaningful to reduce our carbon footprint when we're struggling to put food on the table and some rich celebrity or powerful politician lectures us on climate change while flying around the world in private jets, pulling up to speaking events in massive motorcades, vacationing in the Bahamas on mega-yachts, and sleeping soundly at night in beachfront mansions. It's not even close to being hypocritical. Since the Deepwater Horizon disaster, it has been the responsibility of individual consumers to reduce their carbon emissions, rather than the oil companies or militaries that are the world's worst polluters.
