    I understand your feeling regarding our small action being useless, I feel the same.

    What I try to tell myself to keep doing it is: If most of everyone would do it, that fart in the wind would be loud enough to make politician realise they have to take it into account and pass legislation aligned with that.

    Deep down though, I know we’ll never be enough to do it for it to have an impact

      Yeah. It just feel really pissy, that we’re guilted into not taking the car to work. While coal plants are just spewing out all day.

      I’m not saying we shouldn’t do what we can. That’s what the individual can do. I’m just really pissed on all the shit talk from politicians.

      There’s 256 coal power plants in Europe. Until politicians have made sure they’ve all closed down, THEN they can start talking about raising tax on fuel for ordinary people, on an environmental basis.

      Until such time. They have not done enough themselves. It feels like I’m scooping out water from a boat, and instead of fixing the leak, I’m told I’m not scooping out enough water.
