I ran into him at the mailbox on Tuesday and he mentioned he skips all flying to help the planet, then said my yearly trip to see my sister in Ohio is pointless since planes are a tiny slice of the problem. That number is real, but it made me think about how we all pick the one stat that lets us off the hook, whether that is flying or beef or driving. What is the one piece of data you lean on when you want to feel like your choices do not count?
