According to whom?

I am also an environmentalist and burn some fuel from time to time, I’m not a zealot.

For me to operate and support the environment the best I can I also need to be mentally fit and have life enjoinment. And riding my old classic carbureted Triumph helps me with that.

According to my dictionary an environmentalist is "a person who is interested in or studies the environment and who tries to protect it from being damaged by human activities".

I can't see how buying a Porsche (or any car really) is compatible with that.

That's a bit like saying, I'm pro athlete (or even just very health conscious), but going out for a night out with my friends to a fast food joint is not compatible with that.
