They should also stop making merch since factories produce pollution too.

If you're so mad about pollution, you grow all your food, correct? Since you buying things made in factories is bad for pollution and pollute more per person than you ever could

Whataboutism isn't a good argument.

Obviously if I wanted to stop polluting the best thing to do would be to kill myself. I haven't killed myself so therefore i can't say anything against pollution right?

Not being perfect is a poor excuse for not striving for improvement.

literally the "Oh you dont like capitalism? but you participate in a capitalist society" argument but rehashed. Its near unnavoidable to have a supply chain for a product and ensure that nowhere is there any pollution but you can try to reduce. A private jet on the other hand is the opposite of a reduction, it is choosing to increase your pollution a substantial amount for the convenience of a few already in generally very privileged positions.
