I really like this switch in perspective from doing it for the climate actions to "this is the way I live, and it’s a way that’s sustainable and in line with my values and what needs to be done in this world”. I think there are many ways we can talk about switching our perspectives such as from the individualistic to the collective perspective. People are focused on the individual pursuit of happiness and so may balk at reducing their emissions. They don't see how a more collective outlook might actually make them happier, more connected, and secure than the individual consumptive "pursuit of happiness" that really doesn't make them happy at all... just lonely and empty.

Thank you! And yes, agreed that we need to talk in various ways about the necessary shift from a more individual to a more collective perspective, and all the benefits that comes with that.
