My point is that a concert only exists due to concert goers paying for it, supporting it, and coming to it. It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me that the total environmental impact of the concert can then by divided by all the people who attended it, including everyone carrying their small share of responsibility that the singer travelled to sing for them.
I absolutely agree it’s mainly her responsibility for the choice of the mode of transport, but I do think everyone who buys a ticket is “complicit”, as everyone knows that’s how she does it and are still happy to support it. And I don’t blame any individual person, because for any individual person the share of responsibility is very small.
But that just feels like calling out people who buy jeans in the western world. Yes, I wear my jeans for years, patching them when possible. But a factory in Indonesia dyed these jeans indigo with child workers who take that poisoning home with them.
There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, or so they say, so why not subtract the 2 from both sides and pull it entirely out of the equation?
