Hoi,
You have it wrong. It is all about emissions. The notion of acting against
global warming is about reducing emissions, all emissions. It seems
relatively easy to get people to reduce the "unnecessary" ones, but that
does not get you at the target that is needed.
Thanks,

It's not emissions that are important, it's unnecessary emissions.
While all emissions end up being caused by a person, not all
unnecessary emissions are.
