And if you didn’t ride a bike and walked everywhere you would save the resources required to make the bike.

Are you not also “diluting” the responsibility by not taking into account all of the energy you use by being on your computer? By being on the internet?

At what point does it become silly? Or do you set the bar right above “the things I don’t do”?

No, I am accepting the responsibility for all of these actions (at least insofar as I am aware of their consequences) – which are not nearly in the same ballpark as flying in terms of energy expenditure, but again, you're the one counting/comparing, not me.

Like what, taking airplanes? You seem to be intentionally ignoring the fact that I have repeatedly stated that I do. I just don't engage in ridiculous logical acrobatics in trying to rationalize away the consequences of doing so.
