      The point isn’t to subject them to gradation, it’s to note the damages they all do in their different ways.

      Taylor isn’t exempt from being held responsible for her part just because she’s a nice person.

        I mean what is she supposed to do, take a riverboat to her next tour? She’s a direct result of a larger cultural fascination, not the problem itself.

          There’s plenty she could do and tons of other acts throughout history that managed to do what she does with a smaller carbon footprint.

          “She has no choice!” is not an argument to defend what she does.

              Asking someone to reduce their carbon footprint isn’t asking for perfection. It’s simply asking them to participate.

              And a blatant refusal to do so is what earned her her spot on this list.

              I’m sure she’s a nice person- but being nice doesn’t excuse one from the responsibility of their actions.

                  I can see the straw man that you’re trying to build, so I’ll just stop it right there and say that regardless of what I eat- I’m not putting the equivalent of 200,000 miles worth of jet fuel exhaust into the atmosphere as a single human being per year.

                  Also, veganism isn’t as environmentally friendly as your assumption would suggest- therefore from my perception, your argument is irrelevant.

                  And it’s clear that no ground is moving on either side of this debate, so I’m going to end this here and say that we can simply just agree to disagree on the topic.

                  Have a good day.
