I live without a car. I work remotely. I barely showered for nearly 6 years (cough... while homeless).
No one wants me as a role model.
Note how the guy lecturing you to cancel your plane tickets went to Morocco with his wife. He has a genius award. He is an award winning author. You generally don't get there by keeping your butt at home.
This is so very "Do as I say, not as I do." If this is such a great thing, why did you speak at the conference in Morocco? Why didn't you turn it down instead of bringing your wife and then calculating the total damage?
Edit:
Ah, a downvote. How ironic. "We don't want you as a role model and also shut up. No one wants to hear your opinion either. "
Weirdly validating.

They deleted it before I could post the following reply: Other people talk about themselves all the time on HN. That usually doesn't make a thing downvote worthy. But I get a lot of flak for it, presumably because people find something inherently disturbing about me. I don't think it is off topic. If you really want a strong role model for how to live light on the land, you could admire me and follow my advice. Instead, my many websites get no traction and I get a lot of open hostility. That is exactly my point. People only listen to and admire the type of people who fly to Morocco. People who actually walk the talk have no influence and never will.
