I’m less bothered about being a killjoy than I would be about being a hypocrite.
On an individual level, vacations are not an “incredibly small factor”. For an average person, a single flight will wipe out all their other conscientious efforts in terms of diet, housing etc. For some reason most people are only dimly aware of this fact.
Yes, but the average persons individual efforts mean fuck all in the scheme of things. It’s not individuals that make the difference, it’s the collective effort.
Which, frankly, doesn’t mean shit in this hypothetical situation. Hypothetically you could use your infinite money to create enough carbon offsets to completely fix the climate entirely for everyone everywhere.
Obsessing about small things like that to the complete rejection of all joy in life won’t solve anything. If anything it will drive away any positive influences in your life, making you a joyless curmudgeon who can help no one.

Who’s getting angry and defensive in this debate?
My concern is with not being a hypocrite, that’s all.
Who said anything about angry and defensive? I said you were obsessive.
Eco terrorist zealot. Next thing he will burn local courier company because they use diesel trucks.
