Public transport probably isn’t a viable option in some cases, so I’m hoping EVs do catch on for this reason. Reducing or eliminating meat consumption, or at least finding more sustainable ways to provide it (i.e. lab-grown meat) also would definitely play a significant role. I am not advocating for eliminating all responsibility from the consumer side

It is a viable option in about 90% of cases.

your statement is highly dependent on where someone lives. I wonder what percent of people live within about ten minutes' walking distance from useful public transportation. I bet it's not 90% or even anywhere close. most people on Earth do live in cities now though, so maybe it's ~50%...?

I meant in general, not just with the current infrastructure, sorry for a late reply
