6. Do you feel that way when people talk about the importance of driving cars with good gas mileage?

Or electric vehicles? Or preserving and planting trees to help with carbon storage? Or insulating their homes? Or switching to clean, renewable energy sources?

Do you think it is offensive to talk about how to reduce our carbon footprint? Is all talk about reducing our carbon footprint offensive, or only suggestions that might involve lifestyle changes and sacrifice?

If someone is actively trying to reduce their carbon footprint but knows that their effort will only be effective if it is part of a mass movement, is it offensive to tell them that they're free to do what they want, but don't try to sway anyone else?
