I went to see David Suzuki talk around 2014 and this was a big thing he highlighted. He is very much aware of how much carbon footprint he has, especially in regards to his jet use for speaking engagements. He was very upfront with the idea that you still live in the current society and need to make due with tools in hand while advocating for change. He has made many personal changes to his lifestyle to try to offset, but he is the first person to acknowledge that his personal footprint is bigger than most. Not out of lack of caring, but out of necessity to do the work in the modern world.
