When you are flying around the world committed to delivering speeches for pay, that is not FIRE.
Complaining about people who own SUVs or let their cars idle for wasting energy, but then flying around the world, actually holding conferences in far off places soliciting others to fly all over the world as well, is pretty hypocritical.
The environmentalist in this link said that one trip to Portugal for two would increase their carbon foot print for the year by 50% over their normal household and car driving usage.
One of the things I really liked about Amy D. and The Tightwad Gazette, is that she always did the math. Is it cheaper to make or buy pizza? Is it worth the gas and her time to go to garage sales on the weekend? She always calculated how much she was really saving or spending per activity, and avoided the penny wise, pound foolish ideas.
