I have no problem with someone not wanting to add to the amount of waste in this world, but I don't see myself using the CO2 cylinders that often. If I did, I think I would consider changing my route.
Pinch flats, and the alternative route around here that has good enough roads to not get pinch flats is "drive the car" or "drive the utility bike which weighs 40 pounds."
It's not a big deal, I'm not in any hurry, a couple of flats a month doesn't bother me really. I'm really good at patching tubes. I have one tube with 8 patches on it. Eventually I always wind up getting one too close to the stem or something and can't patch anymore.
