    It really isn’t. Owning and operating cars PALES in comparison to corporate pollution from shipping industries. It’s the rampant consumerism that’s killing the world, not cars. That’s why all the crap about China polluting. China isn’t polluting so much as the US has offshored all of their pollution TO China.

    The argument you’re making is the equiv to all these rich billionaires telling kids to skip the avacado toast and morning coffee.

    Why is it up to the PEOPLE to curb these actions instead of the ones who are actually polluting? Why do the PEOPLE hold responsibility here when it comes to cars? Why do they have to suffer and use public transportation instead of their nice, private, quiet vehicle?
