I get that, but these are "green" people who demonstrate at rallies for climate change, etc. Of all the people I would expect to "be the change they want in the world", it would be these, at least according to their FB posts. I wasn't popular for pointing out the irony when at least a few of them drove to a demonstration against a new refinery. <edited for grammar>

What if (as refineries often are) it was 100 miles away in a rural area with no public transportation? What about disabled people? People without enough free time to bike 100 (or maybe even 10) miles? People with children? Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Would it be better to have no rallies at all, rather than rallies that people drive to? These people spent their free time going to rallies instead of motorboating on lakes or flying on a jet to go skiing. They have skin in the game.
