I hardly think it's "ego-centered" to focus on what's sustainable locally. I'm always a bit sceptical when people start talking in globals and absolutes.

True, some things need global solutions. But there's a Messianic sub-text that all too often creeps in when there's talk of how everyone, everywhere must act in this or that prescribed way and none other, or it's a one way ticket to the lake of fire, that makes me break out in hives.

From my point of view, one should focus on sustainable solutions at a local level first and foremost, as solutions that fit the bill one place might not in others. If that's "ego-centered", then I can live with that.
