The compact car only leaves EV range a handful of times a year, and I could usually swap cars if needed.
Thread drift, but the carbon footprint of a single trans-Pacific flight (which I'm asked to do for work far too often) is about as much as I create in the rest of the year combined. That doesn't mean I shouldn't try to reduce my driving footprint, but certainly the low hanging fruit in my life is convincing my business leaders that we could replace one face-to-face with a video conference or have one less person in the room. It's insane how many people my company flies around.

Yup it's crazy. I used to work on developing virtual worlds for that, and other, reasons. There is no reason why people cannot meet in virtual spaces and get work done from all locations around the world.
