I agree it’s difficult. My point is at least it’s possible. Expecting people to collectively take actions against their own personal interests and that of their children (not eating eggs except expensive offset ones) is close to impossible.
CO2 offsetting does show that there’s generally a market for offsetting. It won’t be done by everyone but it still creates good. Expecting some people to engage in the action seems like a good model.
It won’t change the behavior of everyone but as more people move to such eggs politically it becomes easier to increase general standards for treating chickens by law.

Do you have evidence that co2 offsetting moves the needle in a useful way? I mean are we talking 1 year less warning in 2100?
This is voluntary offsetting where individuals have a cheaper alternative. I drive a prius for the reliability
