    Yupppp. I post in some environmental communities and it’s so annoying when someone scolds me for using a car. I agree with them in principle but by car, I’m still over an hour away from the nearest bus stop.

    Also I have to drive for ages if I want to do anything more interesting than grocery shopping.

      yeah. being environmental is mostly easier in the city but also some things are almost impossible to do. When way out you have to do the whole super efficient home with solar and geothermal and electric car and such which can be super expensive. Make it a point to keep local native species. This is why living in the city can be cheaper than way out. Unfortunately the cheapest is the burbs which is the hardest to live environmental. Can’t have as small a footprint as the city but limited in what you can do since you don’t have a lot of land and things like geothermal and solar are even more expensive.
