      Bigger Than You

      Most of your footprint is downstream of systems

      Your home heating is shaped by building codes. Your car miles are shaped by zoning and transit. Your electricity emissions are shaped by your grid mix — and that is decided by utilities and regulators, not you.

      Individual choices are real but bounded. The bigger lever is energy transition policy: who builds what, who's allowed to burn what, who pays.
