I should backpedal a bit and reemphasize; please do not stop doing good things for the environment by any means. The more sustainably you can live your life, especially if you can demonstrate a way to do it fairly easily, the more of a proof-of-concept you become, which can help put pressures on governments.
I mean, I don't own a car, am mostly vegetarian (I eat fish occasionally), and take public transit nearly everywhere, so it's not like I don't try and do my part (though I do fly a lot, so that probably cancels out all my savings).
Part of the problem with writing comments like this is that I do think some of the the issues causing climate-change to become a problem are due to a specific political party, and HN typically gets a bit flag-heavy whenever you start getting into overt politics.
