The vast majority of carbon emissions are not directly controllable by individual consumers: https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/sources-greenhouse-gas-emissions

Aren't you wasting time by not tackling the larger slices of the pie with issues of supply chain, transportation, food waste at scale, energy generation? These are mainly issues of regulation and economic externalities.

Edit: Its almost worse than just wasting time. The largest polluters have no accountability and moving the focus to individuals to change their behaviors distracts from any actual solutions we might consider.

Edit2: This is more combative than I intended. There clearly isn't a silver bullet solution and it will be a collective effort on many fronts to solve. All for a green new deal here in the states. IMHO the green new deal is a better stab at the issues because it factors in pragmatic at-scale solutions for the underlying economic mechanisms. If we can't get the entire world to participate, plan B is Mars.

Are there animal models that look similar to human reactions? I know you can play predator sounds to primates and they get agitated, and iirc, they don't even have to have been socialized to be afraid of the sounds.

Edit: Followup, are there examples of culturally distinct sounds, or possibly sounds prevalent in certain environments.

Are you just a really entropic finite state automa or do you have free will?
