This person doesn't give a shit. That's the point.
And obviously you don't either. Look in a mirror. Stop the mass extinction that you're causing if you fly more than once per year.
Way to dodge everything I said, hyperbolic virtue signaler. I hope you've never been a passenger in a car or a plane, else you're a massive hypocrite too.
Busses. Bikes. Trains. Boats.
By the way, busses create greenhouse gasses. If we need to get carbon emissions to zero, and you take the bus, by your own logic, you are a murderer. Stew on that for a bit.
Plenty of busses run on city electric grids. But you're right, we need to make all busses electric and make the electricity renewable. Its not OK to burn a gram of fossil fuels.
Well gee wiz, I sure hope you're ensuring any and all of your electricity is coming from renewable sources without emissions. That coal stuff is pretty nasty! Otherwise you'd be a bit of a hypocrite every time you posted something here, wouldn't you?
Bike trip would take weeks, bus trip several days, have you heard of the train system in the US? And if it's across land, well, guess I can't take a boat! Guess what that leaves?
What would you suggest in this case, o' paragon of virtue?
Do you have a job? Is it feasible for you to ride your bike for weeks to get to commitments? Or are you, as the other commenter said, speaking from a very, very privileged position?
I've traveled across the US by bus, train, and bicucle. Im quite familiar with those methods of transport, yes. I recommend trains.
If you can't make it to your comittments with reasonable methods of public transportation you have too many comittments.
Adjust your life to what is sustainable. Don't try to fit a square peg in a circular hole. If you are invited to some event that's thousands of miles away, say you can't go because its too far.
Traveled across the US by bus?! Sorry, I'm not interested in the opinions of mass murderers. I weep for your victims. Somebody bring out the guillotine.
And that's a "no" on the full-time job, then?
This is you, by the way. Really helping the cause by being a toxic ass on the internet. What a visionary. I'm not taking responsibility for the structure of society that got rolling years and years before I was born. I'm also not going to cut ties with family and friends and ruin my own life for the sake of preventing the very, very little that I'm actually contributing to greenhouse gasses. Fucking cope, and find a new angle. You've got the wrong guy. You're lucky I'm not the type to associate your behavior with all environmentalists. People seem to be agreeing with me that this misdirected virtuous hero act isn't working for you.
