fossil fuels, how is it different from a strategy of incrementally reducing problems?
Any reduction in fossil fuel use, inspired by any strategy, is precycling since the unused fuel does not end up as waste. Precycling offers a clear goal (of precycling everything) which can provoke creative solutions. A precycling family concerned about health and packaging waste might have less processed food and more local food, which incidentally cuts fuel use. A precycling community might support neighbourhood cohesion and then see residents starting car sharing shemes, again with fuel savings. A precycling economy would apply precycling insurance which generates funds to make renewables cheaper as well as pricing fossil fuels to cut demand. The incremental strategy, as practiced over recent decades, has not cut global fossil fuel use at all.
