Did we just invoke “Godwin’s Law”?

Did you choose a job where you didn’t have to go to work and cause carbon emissions?

You purposefully chose a job where you decided to drive into work. Did you buy a house close enough to work to walk or ride a bike?

Whet sacrifices have you personally made to reduce your carbon footprint?

It really doesn’t matter what I did as you were the one commenting on but I’ll amswer

Did you choose a job where you didn’t have to go to work and cause carbon emissions?

yes, I am a contractor and have been working from home-office since 2007

You purposefully chose a job where you decided to drive into work. Did you buy a house close enough to work to walk or ride a bike?

yes, I also chose a private school for my kid which is nearby and we bike to school weather-permitting roughly 75% of the time

Whet sacrifices have you personally made to reduce your carbon footprint?

I drive EV. My wife and I donate 10% of all our pre-tax earning significant portion of which goes to Oceana. I installed solar panels on my house long before it was even remotely economically feasible… We try to do our part, even in cases where it is a bit of theatre more so than actual benefit (recycling for instance)
