It's possible to live in a cardboard box, eat freegan, and ask that when you die, your body be mulched and used as organic fertilizer. By doing so, you would have the least possible impact on the natural world and cause the least amount of suffering and habitat displacement. Yet here you are, wasting precious electrons on the internet, living in a some kind of permanent dwelling, and greedily consuming hundreds of kilos of plants a year, and therefore you are clearly as immoral and selfish as the rest of us.
Unless you are a Jain, the argument of convenience applies to you as well as anyone else. Merely by existing in our society, you are using resources you don't "need" to survive. You are drawing an arbitrary line as to what is acceptable to want as a minimum standard of living, and expecting the rest of us, who draw the line elsewhere, to applaud your moral stand. But we won't, because it's hypocritical BS.
