WIBU to point out this hypocrisy to environmentally obsessed colleague?

[Morphene]

I've a work colleague who never seems to stop banging on about environmental things. Constantly nagging about people going on holiday by plane, driving to work, using plastic bottles etc.

The thing is that he has two kids and has a third on the way - all very much planned. So WIBU to interrupt his next diatribe by pointing out to him that I could go on a transatlantic flight every year for the rest of my life while driving a fleet of gas guzzlers and it still wouldn't amount to the level of environmental damage his choices are causing?

Say, "I did my share for the environment -- I have only one kid." If he accuses you of criticizing him for having 3 kids, you can say "Yup, that's right" or you can say "I am sure you make up for that environmental trespass in other ways"

Personally I would have a go at him. Can't stand intellectual hypocrisy!

Most bores I know are hypocrites....

The environmentalists I know have all have numerous children.
The one vegan I know is obsessed with processed vegan food and food shipped in from far off places - probably more damaging to animals that eating local animal products.

RudeDog- how do you know the animal feed isn't made from imported ingredients?

Quite a few prominent environmentalists have children - George Monbiot, Mark Lynas, Jonathon Porritt, Caroline Lucas for example.

I think I''ve decided to unleash the tampon/mooncup debate next time it gets raised...less chance of hypocrisy and more chance of stunned silence for months or even years to come....

Do make sure you update us all.

I'm just studying up ALL THE FACTS so I can keep a good monologue going to cover all potential interruption attempts....
