We know our planet’s ecosystem is breaking down…much of the destruction is irreparable. So, why haven’t things changed faster?

    A lot of people can afford it, and aren’t. They’re buying luxury instead.

      Because lot of people got rich by being selfish assholes, so you can’t really expect them to change now. But some people can afford it and are.

      Just saw this graph in neighbouring comment.

      It is not going down, but at least it stopped going up in last 10 years. So something is happening.

      It will take time. I drive 10 yo ICE car and I can’t afford new ev car now, but hopefully before my current car will die in 5+ years, second hand ev market will exist.
