What do we gain by guilting people who are already doing something into doing more? Animosity? Apathy? How much more should we be doing?

If we were to be doing all that we can, we would not be able to have this discussion because the computers we're using does alot of waste and damage to the environment. From shipping to creation of boards and mircochips, there's nothing there that's locally grown.

Should I be tithing my salary into carbon credits because it is the new thing to do as a "socially responsible" person?

I'm tired of these fringe groups continuing to demonize and vilify behaviors that a great number are not even doing the least amount of effort.

"I can't walk to work, it's too far," trumps their guilt or ability to do more. So what gains I provide, they do more than negate.

We do lots of conservation and reduce emissions, Mt. Pinotubo erupts and any gains from conservation are removed.

Again, I'm not telling people from the highest mountains that they should eat meat or not conserve energy, but to vilify and guilt those that do enjoy eating meat and driving is patently absurd.
