Making large life decisions based on your own personal GHG emissions is living as though you are already dead.

I moved out to the country. Bought a big diesel. Started a farm. My GHGs went way up.

And yet, my lifestyle change has zero impact on climate change.

It's like voting--if you know game theory at all, you know it's a waste of time, just like it's a waste of a life to spend your time calculating and optimizing how "green" you're being. Zero real impact, beyond whatever it makes you feel.

Hey, I enjoy dirt bikes and the shooting guns on my land. My kids do too. Maybe you enjoy riding the bus and being efficient. To each their own. But don't live a lesser life just to live up to some lifestyle meme--whether it's the homesteading trend or the green trend--just do what you like.
