    Trading your ICE car for an EV? So somebody else now drives your old car? Doesn’t save any CO2.

      Not sure what you are suggesting the better alternative would be? Scrap it? Whoever purchased the used vehicle could have bought a new car instead (which would have required more raw materials for processing).

      One common issue I noticed among environmentalists is they argue with each other about what the perfect solution should be instead of just starting somewhere. Any progress is better than nothing at the rate the climate is changing and such progress tends to compound over time.

        The same as with any gadget: use it until it’s broken beyond repair.

          That’s why I like subbing to old phone communities as everyone gives each-other support in breathing in new life to their old gadgets.
