See my post above for book and event recs.

And well said. For some context, "carbon footprint" and this idea of individual emissions actions to solve climate change started as a marketing campaign by British Petroleum. Even the term "climate change" instead of "global warming" came from a U.S. Bush-era policy memo, because the term global warming "frightened" people.

The book I linked above proposes a different frame, managing your impact at a regional, state, national level etc.
