OK, you’re a climate warrior: You take the bus, downtown or to California. You eat vegan.

But do you have to be so insufferable about it?

Some people don’t have all of the options that you do.

KUOW host Kim Malcolm speaks with reporter David Hyde about fighting climate change, without ignoring social class.

The interview is a part of our series, The Burning Question.

Most of our stories are about what the city of Seattle is doing (or not doing).

But we all play a small part, including all of us here at KUOW.

On that point, KUOW hosts Malcolm, Bill Radke, and Emily Fox have something to confess.
