Yep. I live in the first world and have forst world problems as - I assume - does the person you originally replied to and - I guess - you too.

Point is you cannot condemn the person you replied without knowing them.

I can make a huge difference with small changes without making neither nyself nor my kids into laughing stock.

If my lifestyle results in 50%, 25% or even just 10% lower CO2 releases that is huge compared to what is possible for others.

Thinking about the fact that maybe I still release much more CO2 than the average Nigerian isn't productive and doesn't do anything good.

I'll keep doing the things I can:

- keep my hobbies smart (I repair stuff, create software and grow fruit and vegetables at home and together with friends on a patch on a nearby farm)

- cook food from scratch

- teach my kids not to waste

- teach my kids the joy of simple things like hiking and tenting

- when time permits: shooting at the local shooting range

- when it existed: volunteer at the local refugee center

- and other inexpensive, interesting activities that aren't crazy wasteful.
