I do convince people to use public transportation and being vegan to reduce their emissions.

So I don't need to.

I eat meat and use my SUVs but since I already convinced several people to do otherwise I do think I am entitled to some privilege. --> BUT I use the "ECO" function on my SUV.

Same as my colleagues ecologists that always travel by plane, buy a lot of disposable stuff but claim it is ok because they ar are spreading the message.

Samewise I do as voting I just need to convince 2 people of opposite party to not vote (mostly I do a big BBQ at home) and then I don't need to vote AND we reduce carbon emissions but kind we offset it on BBQ (using charcoal..)

I think the secrete is to balance and being a net positive.

I am doing my part we need more people doing it.

This is a great strategy. I for one burn as much fossil fuel as possible. The sooner we run out, the sooner we can stop releasing that carbon into the air. I'm doing my part to reduce the finite supply of fossil fuels.
