Perfection is the enemy of good

Asking someone to reduce their carbon footprint isn’t asking for perfection. It’s simply asking them to participate.

And a blatant refusal to do so is what earned her her spot on this list.

I’m sure she’s a nice person- but being nice doesn’t excuse one from the responsibility of their actions.

I hope you're vegan lol

I can see the straw man that you’re trying to build, so I’ll just stop it right there and say that regardless of what I eat- I’m not putting the equivalent of 200,000 miles worth of jet fuel exhaust into the atmosphere as a single human being per year.

Also, veganism isn’t as environmentally friendly as your assumption would suggest- therefore from my perception, your argument is irrelevant.

And it’s clear that no ground is moving on either side of this debate, so I’m going to end this here and say that we can simply just agree to disagree on the topic.

Have a good day.

Yeah you want her to be perfect by your standards.

I don’t think you get to tell me what I want. That’s my job. She’s an human being, therefore she’s flawed. This isn’t up for debate.

I would only ask that she participate in reducing her carbon footprint. And I don’t care who you are… 200,000 miles a year in a private jet is excessive.

I do get to tell you what you are, a perfectionist.

And I get to tell you you’re wrong. Funny how that works.
