    Your use of electronic media to post this message shows you don’t care about the environment.

      I’m powering my computer with generator mounted to a stationary bicycle which proves that I do care about the environment.

        Trying to argue ethical purities is pretty pointless. I don’t know where the piefed.world server is hosted but it’s probably not powered the same way. Regardless, there is environmental damage caused by any kind of consumerism, such as the creation and shipping of your bicycle or the generator it’s connected to, unless you built the bicycle out of bamboo and the generator out of rocks. And that’s ok. You don’t need to justify that to anyone. Being ethical can just mean being a minimal consumer to a reasonable degree. Which it sounds like you are.

          That’s all and good but there is no reason to eat or use animal products and less of a reason to discount them.

          Especially if the guy calls himself progressive.
