Yes they all involve less consumption, but the ones that actually are serious have that reduced consumption as a by-product of regulating industries that are the biggest offenders. You can’t “personal responsibility” your way out of climate change. That doesn’t mean people shouldn’t take responsibility, but they should realize that personal responsibility alone cannot solve this.
I honestly have yet to see meaningful CO2e reduction methods that do not involve less consumption in some way.

Renewables help greatly.
