Only if the electricity generated to charge your vehicle wasn't connected to oil in any way, but you know what's really environmentally friendly? Walking, biking, and public transit!

Free electricity? Check. Living in a city where I'm a 15 minute walk to grocery, food, coffee, and more? Check.

Having to drive to work 25 miles away is where most of my driving happens.

But you know what's actually helpful and contributing to the dialogue at this point? Supporting a comrade in their satisfaction that they're doing better than they were before. You didn't even acknowledge and validate that before throwing a "yes and" to make your point. Appreciate your well intentioned efforts, but this can turn some people off. I know I'd feel dismissed among other feelings. 🤷Maybe I'm soft.
