'Reasons for apathy' #4: “I'm already vegan and don't fly”
This one is the flipside to “it’s all the government’s fault”: putting it all on individuals. That’s inefficient, unfair, and doesn’t work anyway. Going car-free is harder without a good public transport system; leaving mitigation to individuals means putting all the burden on those who happen to make the effort. And individual carbon-cutting, although important, isn’t enough. It won’t avert this catastrophe without governments on board or fossil fuel giants being held accountable. Faced with institutional failure, we shouldn’t feel powerless, but we should all be climate activists, using our own actions to bring about change from above.

Last Friday about 20 people gathered along E Kenwood Blvd ([link removed]) between the UWM Union and Maryland Av. Despite a lot of honking, we engaged in discussions with passersby (mostly students), handed out dozens of flyers, gathered many student surveys and got to make friends with other activists.
