This narrative of green energy, clean transport etc falls apart when you actually knock on the doors of people living next to mines, refining facilities and factories.
Economic activity has a price. If you think it is clean, green or sustainable, odds are you are not close enough to the action to be paying the actual price.
Fewer kms travelled, fewer goods consumed and less food wasted is the only way to dig ourselves out of this hole. Less mining at every possible level.
