Yeah... I really don't know what to say. I spent most of the 2010s doing what people considered very extreme lifestyle changes to be more environmentally friendly. I almost never went anywhere unless I could get there by bicycle, for instance.

Everyone in my life was put off by it. They thought I was taking things too far. And I'd guess by "too far," they meant that I was doing anything at all, because they hadn't made any changes in their own lives. Everyone was still going through single-use plastics like no trend had ever been cooler.

And now here we are and you know what? What I was doing wasn't extreme, at all.
