Get an E-Bike (hexbear.net)

It's marginal gains all the way here but genuinely if you're an omnivore the E-Bike might work out more enviromentally conscious

I mean that they are saying an e bike is greener than a regular bike, not your comment. They literally are saying in the post that because of the more calories you consume when you exercise that e bike is greener, which is dumb.

The idea that one person can reduce their carbon footprint is dumb to me also, but this means that obese people who eat more than they should are one of the biggest problems with climate change…. (Which is a dumb idea)

Buying new stuff instead of using old stuff contributes more the climate destruction than any of this….

It’s better to drive a 25 year old gas guzzler than to buy a new electric vehicle. It’s just that the climate destruction is exported to the countries they are mining the lithium and metal from. Your local environment will have less emissions, but that’s about it.
