    Yeah I mean…we are all born into an already existing system. I guess we could all kill ourselves to help the planet, but that’s not really a great option for the self. I don’t have the power to change my country’s infrastructure as a singular being.

      There’s a scene in the show Utopia where one of the antagonists is talking to a woman with her child at the bus station. She says they could drive but it’s better for the planet if she takes the bus.

      He says if she wants to save the planet she should kill her kid, because raising a child in a first world nation is one of the most carbon-intense things you can do if you can’t afford a private jet.
