This is a ludicrous philosophy.

I suppose you also take no part in any activity that has any negative impact?

There is an indirect negative impact of ANY modern lifestyle. The really expensive impact comes from of industrialization and technological advancement.

Clearly you have a device to write this message, as well as power and internet connection. You might use AC or heating, you might rely on supply chains for food. Own any index funds? You own minuscule pieces of companies that produce cars, tobacco, or frack for oil. Your very existence is expensive for the earth and for society. Same applies for your kids if you have any.

Most drivers cannot practically manage walking/biking or public transit as their sole means of travel. Frankly that idea comes from a privileged and niche bubble perspective.
