Only if you don't care about climate change.

I care about climate change but electric cars are too expensive.

The poor always suffer. Rich people will buy endless junk but since they can afford a tesla they think they're doing something

If you are really serious about reducing your carbon footprint, don't have children or pets.

Not having children or pets won't really change our carbon emissions in the next ten to fifteen years, which is the time frame that matters if we want to stay below 2°. And unless you want to reduce the human population to zero, it's not a sustainable path to net zero emissions.
