Tell us why you want to pollute the air? Tell us what your motivation is, for intentionally wasting, when you could - not waste? Why do you WANT to contribute to climate change? What's in it for you?

Because those are the only questions I can possibly have to ask, someone who is so dead set against preservation and ecological health.
Those are at the very least, unkind things to say. Has anyone you have ever known said they want to pollute the air? I can't recall knowing anyone who wants to contribute to anything that harms others, other than people who are sociopaths. Industrialization has halved poverty and hunger. Lives depend on it. Greenies get a bad rap because they often talk down to people, and act smug and virtuous while really not accomplishing anything much to change things. Because doing all these very virtuous things doesn't really DO anything to change things that can be seen. Plus we are all living here in our air conditioning , if you want to split a hair. All driving our cars. All farting.

I am not thinking that anyone has the right to pontificate on this matter.

industrialization has halved poverty and hunger since 1990 - Bing
