But politicians aren't forcing those things. You can't just cross your fingers and pray for someone to save you.

Yes, but also recycling your weekly twelve pack of cans isn't going to do a thing against the forces we're facing.

You could reduce your own footprint to nothing and plant a hundred trees yourself, and if you get a hundred or a thousand others to do the same it still will never be enough so long as the actual titans are still fouling up the water and air.

If we can’t just assume politicians are going to push what we say how are you saying that it’s feasible to ban cars?
