    This is practically jaywalking compared to the other people in this meme.

      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.

            Doesn’t it though, imagine her trying to go through the airport. If people would leave her alone it would work out, but cultural fascination implies people will be fascinated. And therefore she, and every other person at the airport will end up delayed over and over and over.

              I think the point being missed is that she takes unnecessary flights and uses too much fuel in doing so.

              Look it up. She’s been scrutinized for it pretty publicly. And there are viable alternatives- she just seems to prefer not to use them.

          I’m with you, she can’t possibly take any form of public transport. Not because she’s somehow better than the rest of us, but for security if nothing else.

          And honestly, I can’t imagine how much she would disrupt a public airport or train station. No way I would want to be in that place at the same time, it would be chaos.

          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.

                Yeah you want her to be perfect by your standards.

                  I don’t think you get to tell me what I want. That’s my job. She’s an human being, therefore she’s flawed. This isn’t up for debate.

                  I would only ask that she participate in reducing her carbon footprint. And I don’t care who you are… 200,000 miles a year in a private jet is excessive.
