    Those are important, but the act of doing things like installing solar panels, or a heat pump changes minds — and when you do it, others around you see and imitate.

      I’d rather put my money into feeding the hungry than consumption effecting nothing but my ego.

        I can’t control your spending, but it’s a really effective outreach tool.

            You don’t need to name-call here. It’s actually important to not just require that everybody do stuff, but have some people go first to make the case that it works well.

      I can’t afford those things just like most of the people impacted by climate change. But maybe that’s the point of redirecting the focus to those actions.
