[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  As an individual it's hard to imagine a way you could be more ecologically wasteful, and I'm not being hyperbolic.[/quote]

Are you having *any* children? Because if you plan on doing so, you're simply being a hypocrite by trying to claim you're being less destructive than someone with more children (a dubious claim in itself).[/quote]

I have no children, but that doesn't make your statement any less false.  Each kid raised in the West is a huge ecological burden.  The carbon impact of a child born in the United States is 160 times that of a child born in Bangladesh.  Each of his 4 kids means the possibility for exponentially more grandkids, great-grandkids, etc. https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/07/14/having-kids-is-terrible-for-the-environment-so-im-not-having-any/?utm_term=.65115bd1a072

OP started out saying he lives like a king, then that he lives better than people in the 3d world, then that he is living in such a way as to be respectful of the world's resources.  Only one of those claims is supportable, but "I live better than a person in the 3rd world on a 100k HHI in suburban America. AMA." didn't have quite the same ring to it, I guess.[/quote]
