Starter questions:
✦ Should we focus on driving system change and is it then reasonable to mostly neglect own consumption behavior? If so, what do you see as your own best action plan to drive system change?
✦ Instead of changing our own consumption behavior, should we just ‘pay’ for an effective charity (~$40-100$ per year to be carbon neutral), and should we stop at being carbon neutral?
