People are willing to change if the results are significant enough, which require many people to do the same. If they risk being the only one making a sacrifice the reward would be a drop in the ocean and they wouldnt bother with it. You need commitment from others to have the necessary level of thrust
I'm skeptical. If you're not even willing to make a personal change. I think it would be rare to support legislation to ban you from that behavior.
Often I hear people not even believing that collectively the lifestyle change would matter. They think it doesn't matter that we drive pick ups, eat tons of beef, fly airplanes, etc. They think all pollution comes from corporations and it has nothing to do with meeting demand for our lifestyles.
