      Is your point we should not be taking steps to decrease electricity usage because this step by itself doesn’t fix the entire problem?

        People will complain about climate change than complain about LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ATTEMPT to improve it. Isnt this what people are always saying needs to happen?? That individual action isnt the way but we need legislature to fix everything? What did people think would happen if governments try to fight climate change? That our lives would in no way shape or form be affected?

            When you have billionares shooting off joy ride rocket ships to space putting out more pollutants than 1000 regular people do in a lifetime per trip, yeah, my recycling everything and switching to oat milk is a pretty futile effort. Individual actions are fine, but there are some things that need the force of law to make a difference.

              Agreed, both are completely required.

              You’re only one person, you don’t have to take full responsibility for all of climate change. But you can take responsibility for your slice of climate change

        So don’t buy non-replaceable fixtures?

        How is removing incandescent bulbs from the marketplace going to increase the installation of fixtures with non-replaceable components, when such fixtures never used incandescent bulbs in the first place?

          It can be difficult. I started asking around about getting recessed lighting installed in my kitchen and they all wanted to install disk lights
