I must be coming off the wrong way.

Sure people should make those lifestyle changes where possible! I’m not against small change.

I get frustrated when I see people generalize the rest of the population as “abhorrently selfish”. Especially when their own lifestyle comes from a position of excess and privilege.

To clarify my position:

If you wanna make lifestyle changes for the environment, more power to you! I’ve got no beef with that. Just don’t use those tiny aspects of your modern life to paint the rest of the world as immoral.



I see, that's fair. Labeling and generalizing others in that way is not productive.
