      The plastic in your car was most likely derived from petroleum. The car parts were most likely shipped around during manufacturing using combustion engine vehicles. The energy to cast those car parts, probably some of it comes from non renewables.

      That “100%” renewable energy? The installation and maintenance of it was/is almost certainly done with large industrial equipment and vehicles burning fossil fuels.

      Look, I’m not saying you aren’t making positive choices by choosing renewable options. What I am saying is, while they are more renewable, they aren’t truly 100% renewable when you factor everything involved in it. Fossil fuels are so pervasive in society, it’s virtually impossible to both function in a modern society and not contribute to the consumption of fossil fuels.

  Is the food you eat farmed with tractors and transported in semis?

    Are not allowed to better themselves in your world without 100% total commitment? It’s about doing our best in the world we live in, man, it seems like you’re committed to misunderstanding that.

    I didn’t know this post was made by satan.

    You seem like a generally reasonable dude, hopefully you will be able to learn how your misconceptions about veganism and eating meat are just that: misconceptions.
