You can't call yourself an environmentalist if you used anything made of plastic
You can't call yourself an environmentalist if you use water to clean yourself
You can't call yourself an environmentalist if you walk on a sidewalk (cement production process contributes much of the co2!)
You can't call yourself an environmentalist if you waste energy watching documentaries
lol got any more ideas?
You can't be an environmentalist if you post to the internet. It's absolutely unnecessary and wastes valuable energy.
One could argue that you're causing a net benefit by advocating environmentalism online
Everybody can argue anything. That's why we shitpost and every website with a comments session is filled with pages and pages of opinions and flamewars. The internet made arguing become entertainment. But for clarification, I was just being an ass for the fun of it. I don't want you or anyone to stop posting, your pov is always welcome.
The thing is eating meat is unnecessary (for anyone with access to a grocery store).
How can an environmentalist claim to be one if they contribute to animal agriculture? Animal ag is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, more than the combined exhaust from all transportation.
They are contributing to the worst thing for the environment when they don't need to.
Ok so what if they eat meat not sourced via animal agriculture? That should be fine then, right?
Environmentally, yeah that's fine. I agree. Nice loophole
Thanks for bringing up this stupid argument again.
"You can't call yourself an environmentalist while continuing to breathe out CO2 repeatedly..."
Anyone can work towards a better environment without calling themselves an 'environmentalist' and without floating about naked without breathing or interacting with the modern world.
You can't be an environmentalist if you use fossil fuels.
You can't be an environmentalist is you don't grow your own food with no pesticides or fertilizers.
You can't be an environmentalist if don't live in a hole in the ground. Must be a hole in a toxic waste site so you don't kill worms or bugs.
It's about reducing one's footprint as much as possible and practicable.
