I guess you obviously don't use fossil fuels at all and instead rely exclusively on the clean energy you produce? Because if you don't, then you are still overall a consumer of energy. But even if you were a net producer of clean energy, we as a society have a big problem of consuming too much overall. We will have to reduce that at some point (whether we want it or not). So it would be great if people started thinking about not eating meat for every meal, taking a plane every second week-end, and living in a sauna.

Also I travel rarely but I can't work while on vegetarian diet.
