Global Warming - if everyone lived like you?

[lightisnotwhite]

I pointed out that the 1970’s were more eco friendly as shops were shut on Sundays, no Amazon delivery and less stuff generally. Food was simple and a picnic was boiled eggs and lettuce in Tupperware. One car per household. Houses weren’t heated as they are now and it was normal to have a wash rather than Bath or shower everyday.

I think lots of my childhood expectations have continued and I don’t buy “stuff” unnecessarily. No take away coffees, clothes are 80% second hand washing machine is on twice a week, I drive to work but do the 20 minute walk into town. No long haul flights every year.So I don’t think I’m too bad.

However if everyone in the developing world lived like I do offset by those who live more extravagantly would we still be in trouble? I think probably but maybe I’d buy us a few years.
What about how you live.How doomed would we be?

We don't fly and only have one car, use public transport and things generally only get replaced once they're broken or obsolete. We do have lots of diary though.

It's great to hear that you're conscious of your environmental impact and are making efforts to live sustainably. It's essential to recognize that small actions can add up and make a difference in the long run. I also follow tips to save the planet from carbonclick. I think every little bit counts, and if we all make an effort to reduce our carbon footprint, we can collectively make a difference.
