    Carbon footprint is a term that was made up by oil companies to shift blame from them to us.

      Doesn’t change the fact that some forms of travel are objectively worse for the environment than others. If you can reasonably take a train or a bus instead of a plane or car, you should do so.

        There’s too much data missing though. What were the emissions for creating, maintaining, and disposing of these modes of travel?

      Oil companies sell oil and manipulate national policy to promote its use. Consumers buy it and support policy to promote its use. There’s at least a bit of room for personal responsibility there.

      There’s no denying that you’re part of the problem though. You’re not of the hook just because someone’s worse than you.
