UnJustification/Lock-Ins

We all need to change. Everything. For addressing the huge Climate Crisis and Biodiversity & Ecological Collapse we’re facing.

But hey, this event we’re doing (or attending) is an important one, and a one off. Can make this one exception.

Oh, and one doesn’t build a home everyday — one can make exceptions for that, at least.

And we’re taking a vacation after ages! We’ve been slogging our a**es off and deserve to pamper ourselves with a few luxuries, no?

All of those bulbs are efficient LEDs. So what if there’s a few more — sets the right mood lighting.

We can have world class infrastructure.

We will die if the product doesn’t sell 30% more this year. Look at the competition grow!

After all my headphones lasted almost two years — the battery’s giving up and lasts less than 2 hours now.

Oh, there’s too much dust/rain/pollution to cycle.

Nah, public transport isn’t up to scratch.

What’s the point — all the segregated waste gets mixed somewhere anyway.

How is my little change going to add up to anything given the large mass of the opposite behaviour?

Shouldn’t it be the governments’ responsibility to fix this?

Yeah, I need to start. Next week.

Come on, don’t be such a wet blanket. One’s got to live life.

At least we did this much.

Should we go back to the stone age?

We can’t really have wild animals around us, no?

It’s not fair to ask us to change when you’ve had your fun.

The economy will crash.

Don’t worry, humans have always invented our way out of such problems.

Nah, there’s no real evidence of this being harmful.

What can we do? Might as well have fun.

Nothing’s gonna change. You’re wasting your time.

First ask them to chage that.
