Do we agree he's trying to make a positive impact? I think he is trying to.

I agree it's right to challenge and dissect someone's message (that's the good thing about the forum). but I think it's a flawed argument to say that someone is a hypocrit because they're not living in a carbon neutral way when their message is that we should be working towards a more carbon neutral society.

It would be far easier for him to win the race and say "I'd like to thank my sponsors, everyone look at my shoes and lightweight pack". I don't think he's doing this for personal gain. I think he's doing it because he cares a lot about it.
