    True, but we also live in a society where we have to travel to work, keep the heat in our house, etc.

    Voting for politicians that actually embrace solutions is also part of our responsibility.

    France went from 10 tons per capita in 1973 to 6.5 in 1993 and that was not by massively taking the bicycle, but by massively building nuclear plants and high speed rail.

    Sweden did the same between 1979 and 2000.

    Still have a way to go down to zero, but the US is still at 15, and Germany still at 10 and Canada at 20.
