The point is if you can make a lifestyle change that positively affects the environment without costing you anything or changing the way you live your life (like using an electric car, for instance) why wouldnt you do it?
Even if you cant accept that, and TBF no-one is forcing anyone to drive an electric car - how the hell can you have a problem with other people doing it? Seriously?
And this "expensive energy" thing? Its another fallacy, renewables are cheaper: https://www.theguardian.com/environm...an-coal-report |
Wait, you work in aviation AND you drive a Z28! You do realize planes are one of the worst polluters? Those death machines spray out 53 pounds of CO2 per mile! Dude, you're killing the polar bears.

I bet you cook on a gas stove too. Damn baby killer.

Don't tell me, you're a meat eater. Do you realize what the methane those cows produce is doing to the atmosphere?

Seriously, you're the reason the planet will be .000000000001 degrees warmer by the year 5520!
How dare you?
I bet you either have children or plan to don't you? Do you realize the carbon footprint of a child? 60 metric tons PER YEAR. That's like putting 13 cars on the road for a year!

Don't tell me you use a dryer for your clothes man. That would be the last straw. Which reminds me, you aren't drinking with straws are you, cause those things are horrible for the environment.

You need to ditch the Z28, quit your job, castrate yourself, quit cooking your food, start eating bugs, quit washing your clothes, and stop all travel beyond the distance you can walk in a day.
You'll be much happier and it's for the planet!
I have a good mind to fly over the England (private jet of course!) throw some soup on a painting, then glue myself to your floor.
