I've been berated for catching public transport instead of riding a bike, and my justifications have all been brushed off.
While I live in an area where the climate is important to people, it is also 300m above sea level, roughly 40km from the city, and with little to no cycling infrastructure suitable for commuting.
Assuming that I was even fit enough to ride the distance, it would probably take nearly three hours each way. Add that to nine hours per day working and eight hours sleeping, I would be left with an hour per day to cook and eat my dinner.
This is exactly how I feel. There's so much pressure to be a perfect climate activist and very little consideration for how hard it is to(both logistically and financially) to meet these standards others are setting for the movement

It's utterly absurd!

Exactly! We can't all live in Fitzroy!
