Do it. I'm happy to be your accountability partner if that means anything. I am planning to limit flying to absolute emergencies (think: my parents die and I need to get to the funeral). I live in a country which has an almost renewable grid. Long journeys can be made by electric car, public transport (which can be electrified), trains, etc. The highest carbon output from my lifestyle is heating the home, and the embodied emissions of products that are difficult for me to control (I think embedded CO2 on labels, or carbon pricing, etc would be a great idea). I already fund offsetting efforts, I posted earlier[1] to crowdfund ideas on how I should spend more.

I think that wealthy, or moderately well off, or whatever you want to call it - we people have an obligation to do this. Call it the modern noblesse oblige.
