>> Except for the hundreds of thousands of europeans
There are dozens of them! Dozens!
>> CO2 capturing projects like reforestation
Reforestation does diddly squat for CO2 capture. It's beneficial in other aspects, though. Prevents soil erosion. Creates habitat. Just doesn't capture much CO2.
>> doesn't have to be mutually exclusive to make money and switch 100% to renewable energy sources
Seems like that's exactly the point. You can't be 100% "green" without going back to what is essentially pre-industrial living. You can certainly pretend being "green" though, and virtue signal about it. I hate to break it to you, but your e.g. Germans (or Europeans of any other locale which has an actual winter) aren't "eating local all year round" _especially_ if they're "vegan", unless they somehow subsist on a ration of storable root vegetables and grain like people did 150-200 years ago.
