What do you mean "personal carbon footprint" was a red herring pushed by BP to direct attention away from systemic policy solutions?? (lemmy.world)

Systemic? You mean corporations, specific nameable corporations, not some amorphous system.

Not necessarily. I, for one, mostly (i.e. at least a little bit >50%) blame the deliberately-low-density zoning code and early FHA policy (e.g. redlining and deliberately recommending car-centric development patterns).

Did Standard Oil and General Motors have a huge influence? Sure, but they didn't literally pass the laws.
