Focusing your energy on scolding people on their personal behavior as a means to fighting climate change is akin to the “Just Say No” strategy in the “War on Drugs” campaign.
@ddanielson I mean, it shouldn’t be the sole approach. People who care are already doing a bit. People who don’t care have to be forced to do it. How? Policy change and legislation. We didn’t change hearts and minds on gay marriage. We changed the damn law and made it illegal to discriminate.
@ddanielson Obama did change his mind in the Keystone pipeline and am sure that was a result of some good ‘ol lobbying. Biden got one of the best climate legislation passed. You can’t despair and expect overnight change.
@pratik the trick to changing human behaviour at scale is to work with individual psychology rather than against it
