What is also true is that we have a responsibility to make these changes regardless of any larger-scale impact. Moral philosopher Peter Singer notes that failing to cut our emissions as individuals is like taking a bulldozer and plowing under the crops of a subsistence farmer in Africa.26 It’s horrifying and it’s wrong and we need to stop, regardless of whether it contributes to larger political change. That is our personal responsibility. (Jeff Golden, Reclaiming the Sacred)
