We can do better than “same, but electric”
Agree with the general sentiment that moving to electric is a great place to rethink the whole design.<p>However a &quot;make it electric&quot; mentality doesn&#x27;t address the fact that a big chunk of the &quot;its&quot; (at least in the global North) are just overconsumption that shouldn&#x27;t exist at all, if we ever want to find balance with nature.<p>So instead of changing to an electric car that has a massive material footprint and takes up the same amount of space on the road as a petrol car, buy a bike (and vote for investments in bike lanes and public transport).<p>Instead of living in a huge house and needing a lawnmower, move to an apartment (and vote for more compact housing zoning).<p>Instead of buying vanity gadgets that relies on ocean cargo traffic, don&#x27;t (and work less as you then need less money).
