That's a mountain of assumptions and frankly insufficient attempts to feel like you can make an impact. The literal best way for a person to reduce ecological impact is to not exist.

Secondly, having someone exist for you even if their existence is pure misery is the most selfish thing. It's my body and it's my choice. Anyone who says different is someone who feels entitled to keeping me around regardless of what I want.

I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say you're depressed and suicidal. If so, I am sorry for what you're going through and hope you find some way to improve your life and get better.

Not really? Like there are moments but I'm talking about if or when things fall apart I don't care to keep trying. It's not because of depression that I'd be ok with death but because I'm not scared to die but I am scared to suffer every day.

I don't think depression has the monopoly on desiring death over suffering.
