Just get a pair of those Apple VR goggles.

Is it the same? No. Is the difference worth destroying the planet? Hell no.

It's not the individual who should be blamed for the dire state of the planet.

Ironically, we can blame them more, the more we blame them.

You think that VR goggles aren’t destroying the planet as well with their manufacturing? Its also pretty bad.

I say this as someone who owns and enjoys my Quest 2 VR headset, in part to watch 3D videos of nature scenes and walks in various places. I just also know it isn’t without an environmental cost of its own.

Thankfully I am already old so I won't live in this world you propagate. The last thing I ever want is to live life dreaming of being somewhere rather than being able to go somewhere.
