[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What vehicle can hold 3 large dogs in crates, 2 kids, and 2 adults besides an suv or minivan? I would love a smaller car but it just doesn’t work. Are vans as horrible to you as suvs?[/quote]

I would love a smaller car, but I've made a bunch of choices that necessitate a giant car. What can be done?![/quote]

Oops sorry, let me go back 10 years in time and not have my kids. And BRB, putting down my dogs.

You don’t actually care about people’s vehicles, you want everyone to live a life with 1 kid and no pets. Sorry, not reality.[/quote]

So when you were adopting your third dog, did you at any point think "huh I wonder if this will impact things like what car we can drive, where we can live, etc.?" No one is asking you to go back in time but saying "I would love a smaller car" is disingenuous when you've made a bunch of choices that would make that impossible. You obviously would not love a smaller car. You have structured your life so that you have no other options.

People who value a small carbon footprint purposefully make choices to make that possible. They have fewer kids. They choose to live in small homes near work rather than bigger homes further away. They deal with inconveniences. Because they value the small carbon footprint. But for a lot of people, making more environmental choices is like a theoretical want, not an actual value. Like "yes it would be great if I could make the environmental choice while making absolutely no compromises or adjustments to my life." That's meaningless. You simply want to be able to SAY you care about the environment without actually having to DO anything about it.[/quote]

We got the 2nd and 3rd dog when my sister died and we inherited dog #2 and #3.  Guess I could have dropped them at the shelter?

The point is, YOU DON'T KNOW people's lives.  You just like to judge.[/quote]
