Saying people should avoid living in pleasant environments so conserve resources is nearly identical to saying people should avoid traveling to pleasant environments to convert resources. What point are you trying to make?
- eropple 7y agoI could travel a lot and not get into the carbon footprint of your average 10K+-a-year commuter. So people who think those are desirable places to live should actually pay for what they consume, instead of freeloading--both economically and ecologically--off of those who do.
- sokoloff 7y agoFrom what I see, you could do about 18K short-haul or 30K airline passenger miles to match the CO2e emissions of a 10K commuter (assuming you yourself have a carbon-free commute). 30K is you and 2 guests round-trip San Francisco to Paris or you and one guest one round-trip L.A. to Sydney. I agree you could do a lot of hiking or road trips and fit within that footprint.
