@The14 The core problem with "nudge" is it doesn't really change incentives. It assumes that people actually want to act on climate and just needed a push. We've strongly internalized that climate action is sacrifice, and until we can break that link it'll take more than a "nudge".

(Also, big business was probably always going to look the other way).
