    The point isn’t to subject them to gradation, it’s to note the damages they all do in their different ways.

    Taylor isn’t exempt from being held responsible for her part just because she’s a nice person.

      I mean what is she supposed to do, take a riverboat to her next tour? She’s a direct result of a larger cultural fascination, not the problem itself.

        There’s plenty she could do and tons of other acts throughout history that managed to do what she does with a smaller carbon footprint.

        “She has no choice!” is not an argument to defend what she does.

            Asking someone to reduce their carbon footprint isn’t asking for perfection. It’s simply asking them to participate.

            And a blatant refusal to do so is what earned her her spot on this list.

            I’m sure she’s a nice person- but being nice doesn’t excuse one from the responsibility of their actions.

                I don’t think you get to tell me what I want. That’s my job. She’s an human being, therefore she’s flawed. This isn’t up for debate.

                I would only ask that she participate in reducing her carbon footprint. And I don’t care who you are… 200,000 miles a year in a private jet is excessive.
