youre making far too many assumptions. you make it seem like finding work, moving, etc. are all easy things to do when that isnt remotely the case. just because you have a cushy life where everything gets handed to you on a platter doesnt mean others do. cars are a necessity. period.

the argument you should be making is for cleaner modes of transportation, including electric or solar cars

You've made a huge pile of assumptions about my life

I'm not saying it's easy, the issue--and what the episode hammered home--is that people will not modify their lives or lifestyles even when the change is desperately needed

cars and ice cream were stand-in objects for the two worst GHG offenders, fossil fuels and animal agriculture

ice cream is straight up unnecessary, and animal agriculture is worse than transportation for the environment

I support cleaner transportation and I also support plant-based lives. I put that into action by not consuming animal products, limiting my driving, and I am in the process of moving to closer to work. It means skimping now, but it'll be much better later
