The solution is not atomic. the solution is smaller consumption. moving to slower travel (for sure?) with trains instead of cars (and that would reduce microplastics in sea cause its already proven tyres are biggest source of it). wear a tshirt for 6 years, not for 6 months. don't buy shitty stuff. dont buy stuff for buying stuff. in other words... stop being consumpionist. that's the solution. along with green power. its not about producing more and more energy, its about lowering our energy usage and stop being such a dickheads to our planet. stop taking planes for 2 freaking days of holidays or to save 3 hours you could spend on reading a book in train. take a slower, calmer life. that would reduce carbon.
“It takes around 1,800 gallons of water to grow enough cotton to produce just one pair of regular ol' blue jeans." - this is the problem and solution is not getting new jeans every year, not building atomic power plants (or at least not until we're 100% sure we can do it safely).
Dont buy stuff to show off your status and high pay because you have small one. Go to therapist. Stop using SUV's or 4x4 cars IF you don't live in mountains or areas where having 4x4 actually matters.
What is killing us is complexes and empty lives that we try to avoid to not think about by buying ourselves more and more toys and shit.
