Then why did you pose the question in the first place and imply that unless one is making responsible choices, then they have no right to complain about these pipelines and these inevitable accidents?
You asked the question and I answered it, no one here is 'forcing' you do anything. I drove my old CR-V into the ground, traded it for a more efficient, used Outback. I choose to purchase clothing made from responsibly sourced natural fibers instead of petro based products where possible. I avoid single use items as much as possible and buy local when possible to have less of in impact on transport needs. I walk around town when running errands if possible, I also turn out the lights when I leave a room, etc, etc, etc.
To say that none of these choices "does absolutely nothing towards saving the environment" is selfish, foolish and mistaken, imho. I do what I can do have less of an impact, be less dependent and thus reduce the need to construct these pipelines that do little to benefit my locality at perhaps irreparable expense. These are my choices and the balance I'm trying to achieve, but to each their own I guess.
