Of course all of this just adds more to emissions. Which is all of the problem….

^^ from above

how about we shift that attention into laws and infrastructure that penalize this behavior by corporations

Completely agree, this is what we should be focusing on. YOUR CAR isn't doing shit. ALL OF OUR CARS collectively are doing shit. You can change your behavior and feel better about yourself, but this problem was caused by laws, oil money lobbying, and the resulting policy. Laws and policy are the way out of it, not making people feel bad about their "choices."
