We all contribute to climate change, but our contributions aren't equal.

πŸ’° The richest 1% produce more than twice the carbon emissions of the poorest 50%.

🌍 People living in countries like Australia, Canada and the US emit over 20x the carbon of those in many low-income countries.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ In the US, 12% consume half the meat and fly two thirds of the miles.

That's why we need system change: so the easiest and most affordable options for everyone are also the best options for people and the planet.

πŸ’― it's also something almost antithetical to the American 'rugged individualist' mythos.

Individuals simply can't fix this problem. It requires the power of systemic level change.
