Chris Duffy: 我认为，长期以来，人们觉得如果想帮助环境，就必须改变自己的行为，比如缩短淋浴时间、多回收利用、改变购物习惯。虽然这些都很重要，但它将责任从大型企业、政府和大型污染机构转移到个人身上。我很高兴看到路易莎将重点转移回个人，强调我们可以向这些系统施加压力并改变它们，利用我们的政治力量和个人力量。这不仅仅是你选择购买什么，还包括你选择投票给谁，把钱放在哪里，以及把压力放在哪里。 Louisa Neubauer: 我认为，鼓励人们多骑自行车是好事，但除非有良好的自行车基础设施，否则他们不会这样做。突然之间，我们就进入了一个系统性的阶段。这关系到政治，关系到那些支持汽车游说者而不是支持自行车骑行者的政治家。这是一种非常矛盾的情况。与此同时，100家公司造成了71%的排放。这就是我们所处的境地。我们面临的问题的严重性与我们如何处理这些问题的答案之间存在不平衡。我们擅长传播自然科学，但在社会科学方面很糟糕。我们不擅长解释气候危机对人们的心理、身体、理解和生活意义的影响。告诉人们我们正面临生存危机，然后让他们去买豆腐是没有意义的，人们对此持批评态度是有充分理由的。
