I like the idea but unfortunately almost nothing about modern society involve choices that only affect the people right around you. You can't build a modern car without spanning many miles of people. When you shit, it goes into everyone's water supply, when you burn stuff for energy, it goes into all of our air. When you drink water, it comes from finite reserves that are all connected and we all share.

So you are right, I cannot accept this because it isn't compatible with reality.
