Nothing makes the average person angrier than telling them their consumption matters.
Blame governments! Blame Taylor Swift! Blame the 100 fossil fuel companies that produce 70% of the world’s fossil fuels, and the factory farms covering entire states in corn monoculture to fatten billions of tortured animals, and the multinational corporations filling the oceans with garbage and our veins with microplastics!
But don’t ask who is buying that plastic garbage, or eating those animals, or whose cars and homes are burning those fuels.
Don’t you dare expect me to change what I eat and wear and drive.
It’s funny because governments need to see behavioral change of their voters before they think about policies against cheap consumer goods. It just doesn’t make sense politically to fight climate change right now. Especially if only taking about it’s importance gets the same number of votes

Eat is a big one. Then wear, because it’s part of your identity. Drive is somehow easier even though many might notice that it’s not at all easy.
