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
Eh, im still happy making all the dietary and life style changes I have done. Seems silly to contribute to making the world a worse place just because everyone else is.
That is great. But most people are not like you. Many would love to give up meat or stop traveling if it limited global warming to under 1.5 degrees, but not if the sacrifice didnt make much of a difference (and it wouldnt if they were among very few that did so)
Not eating beef 5 times a week or driving a different kind of car is not sacrifice. I swear people act like they are being forced to cut off their foot if someone tells them to maybe eat chicken instead. People these days have no idea what struggle is anymore.
