When I was in elementary school, the cafeteria switched to disposable plastic trays because the paper ones hurt trees. Stupid, I know… but are today’s initiatives any better?

      That’s pretty aggressive. I would say 20 years. But we will adapt, as we have always done.

        I wish I could share your optimism, I think when it does happen people will be running around saying “holy shit this wasnt supposed to happen for at least another decade!”

          Oh I wouldn’t call it optimism. It will be extremely unpleasant (to put it mildly) and probably 99% of human population will die. But the survivors will adapt.
