One of the hardest things for me is biking because I don't enjoy it so much and I live in a mountain town... 😳How about you?

Great. Thank you. I love sustainability life hacks. I used to ride the bike to most places. It gets harder when you have a family but you can make sustainable habits a game with kids. :-)

Cheers! I'm glad you liked it! Absolutely! I also find that every time I can turn habits into a game, they become easier.

Longtime subscriber here. Love the illustrated videos and there is a lot of good intention here. However, we can't expect wide adoption of strict self-discipline. Getting 1% of the population to 100% sustainability is not nearly as effective as getting 100% of the population to 20% sustainability through good laws, regulations, and tax incentives. For example, a simple tax on virgin plastic could do magnitudes more to help. I wince when I see people buying cases of bottled water and no amount of discipline on my end can help.

I agree. I am a big fan of Lauren Singer's (from Trash is for Tossers, a zero-waste movement) mentality to this: she doesn't want 1000 people doing it perfectly, she wants 1 million people doing it imperfectly

I couldn't agree more! I didn't mean to sound like everybody should be 100% perfect. This was just a way to share ideas that came to mind as I was reading the book. Thanks for the wise comment. I'm hoping to post videos on the "tipping point" and how legislations have major impacts.

@@learnsustainability I guess we would anyway need this political decision to be supported by at least a big percentage of a population, otherwise imposing unwanted regulation on people would lead people not to support a certain political party or finding ways around these kind of laws, I mean that environmental dictatorship is certainly not a solution, I truly believe that building up habits and internalized ethical values are very effective ways to deal with sustainability .

True! That's why it's important to make it easy and rewarding so we don't drop out before it's become a habit...
