Well, that's the rub isn't it?

It also gets to the fundamental problem, it's not that our lifestyles are evil, but they are extremely wasteful.

Would I be willing to alter my behavior in the short term hoping it might have long term impact? Sure I would...but if it's not serious and coordinated the individual can only do so much...so people think it's not worth the effort.
