@WBOrcutt @bicmay (2/2) I think the biggest challenges we face are:
a) getting the populace to support addressing the infrastructure barriers and needed changes, given the resistance I see in San Francisco to dedicated bike lanes, zoning changes, funding for transit (especially given all the competing demands). (and I fear the incentives of large corporate interests (eg Amazon, supermarket conglomerates, Uber) coupled with peoples failure to comprehend the #ClimateCost of "convenience" are intrinisic barriers to addressing the infrastructure barriers)
b) Changing diets - Extrapolating from a personal POV, we cook most of our meals, and the cooking routines need to be changed to move to a more plant based diet. For me that is a harder challenge than most of the behavioral changes - not that I object to a low animal protein diet - the barrier is learning to prepare those meals. Old dogs and new tricks sort of problem, I guess. Slowly making progress, much less red meat now, etc
