*I can still eat meat daily, have a house with a paved front yard, 2 SUVs in the garage, go on vacation via plane 3 times a year and buy cheap disposable stuff on Amazon, right?
Are you going to pay for the upfront cost of me getting a new car? What about moving somewhere where I can walk to my job? Pay for the difference between the things that I would prefer to buy because they’ll last longer or the cheap ones that I can afford and work ok for now.
I’ve given up meat, I moved closer to my work so I could commute by bicycle and when I water my plants I do it with gray water I get from my dehumidifier.
So when my friend had a new house built an hour from his work and bought a new car because of the commute, well that person is no longer my friend and I know that seems extreme but I just can’t reconcile it.
In their defense, the house was built 50 years ago. Ripping up the drive and disposing of the concrete releases more CO2, SUVs are practically the only vehicles offered on the market anymore (and you got tired of almost getting killed by dodge-ram drivers while driving your tiny hybrid hatchback), hah, you think we get vacations, and when the stuff you need only comes in a disposable form, what choice do you really have?
But I’d do anything* to stop climate change!
