I have an SUV, eat meat every day, and fly once a month. I am carbon negative through TerraPass. The solution doesn't need lifestyle change for those who can pay to offset. It needs lifestyle change from the rest.

So it's OK to crap in the street if you pick enough litter that you're now poo-negative? Carbon emissions is not the only major climate impact from the things you mention and it's not about "paying your dues" as an individual.

I'm not listening to some carbon positive individual lecture me. Fix your house first.

If you are driving a car you are destroying our planet.

Nah, you're doing worse than I am unless you're carbon negative too. My car is fully offset and all marginal stuff is offset too.
