	===The climate crisis===		=== The climate crisis <ref>https://in.mashable.com/science/15520/the-carbon-footprint-sham</ref> <ref>https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/jan/16/the-age-of-the-individual-must-end-tom-oliver-the-self-delusion</ref> ===


			Much of the reason for individual-focused initiatives to addressing the climate crisis are the result of intentional, vast efforts by the fossil fuel industry to put the blame and solutions on individual consumption patterns, diverting focus away from the direct responsibility of the industry and the systems that benefit it.



			For example, British Petroleum, or BP, first promoted and popularized the term “carbon footprint". The company released a “carbon footprint calculator” in 2004 so people could assess how their daily life — going to work, buying food, and traveling — is largely responsible for heating the globe. Today, the carbon footprint is a staple assignment in many schools from elementary to post-secondary.



			Oil companies themselves encourage lifestyle changes such as eating a 'low carbon diet', limiting travel, and turning off the lights. Yet, they continue to profit as the most direct contributors to the climate crisis.
