          I wish, but most humans are stuck on the “there was a road untill here, we will find a new one. No need to slow down for that. There always has been a road.” sentiment.

        What should i do? Stop eating crab? Its about 20 years too late for that, as ive never eaten crab.

        Short of devouring the rich, which im only stopped by lack of a ride and a barbed wire fence, or eco-terrorism which for legal reasons i have to clarify that i do not support and have, like totally never engaged in, theres not much i can do.

        My carbon footprint is so shallow that it might as well be flying. Yet the world still burns.
