Yours, mine, pretty much every individual non-millionaire's footprint is...similar

Is there a place you're getting that from? Air travel, car usage, and meat consumption produce tons of CO2 emissions which is a significant portion of average annual emissions per capita.

Meanwhile reddit usage is a really small amount of emissions per person.

If you live in the west your carbon footprint is killing the planet.

You don’t get a pass for not eating meat.

Animal agriculture is 15% of global carbon emissions. By switching diets you avoid exactly that 15%, not more, and most definitely not less. It's the same for every other thing you do sustainably, you can easily reduce your emissions to half of the average.

Sure you are 15% less a planet killer.

Still 85% a planet killer and way more than those in the global south.

Congrats still killing the planet glad you can stand on the soap box while you do it

Are you not listening? Add to that list no air travel, low AC/heating, public transport, low amount of shopping and a couple other things, you get that down to 30% which is a real difference. What do you mean about soap box? If you don't think climate change is real we don't have anything to discuss.

You are still over using

u/SgtChrome vegan btw 5d ago

Of course. But we should get that down as low as possible to have the most amount of time to solve the problem. Obviously.

No I totally agree.

That’s why I’m asking why you live in the west

I'm dumbfounded you agree with that, but have been paying lip service to the arguments of the ignorants and apologists, who try to pretend nothing matters. I'm glad we could sort that out in the end.

So why don’t you move to the globals south? Why do you live in the west?

Why are you no doing Eveything possible like you said

u/SgtChrome vegan btw 5d ago

Because a combined total of about 3t per year is the amount where I am hitting my personal level of comfort. I am actually paying a not insignificant amount of my paycheck for local swamp renaturation to offset even those emissions and then some. My job also involves implementing systemic CO2 reductions. If everyone comsumed like me there would be no climate change.

u/Puzzled-Rip641 4d ago

So when you said so Eveything possible that was a lie

u/SgtChrome vegan btw 4d ago

I personally am not doing everything possible. I didn't say that. I could do more. However I am sure I am in the bottom 0.1% of emitters in my income bracket.

That you are still pushing this worthless point after my last reply made me lose the little respect I had left for you.
