It’s pretty clear (by looking at actions, not words) that nobody cares about being insanely wasteful and polluting.
Everybody believes some other person is being insanely wasteful and polluting but their lifestyle isn’t as bad so they don’t have to change.
- goosedragons 2y agoI think it's pretty clear that commuting 1000 miles by private jet very easily puts you in the top 0.1% of individual polluters even by Western standards. They emit like 2 tonnes of CO_2 in an hour and the average American does like 14 tonnes in an entire year. So even if only goes to Seattle once a week that's like 8 tonnes (assuming 500 MPH flying speed, roundtrip). Every two weeks he's emitting what an average American does, JUST COMMUTING.
- paulcole 2y agoOk phew, for a second there I thought you were going to suggest that the average American made changes in their lives to reduce their environmental impact.
