You friend is going from one being to multiple beings when she adds the shared space idea... In SR it's all you. You are the observer, you are the polluter, you are the earth. You can't solve any problem in this paradigm by separating yourself from it.
Your friend is playing the perpetrator-victim game in a reality where that cannot exist. If it's all you there is no perpetrator, there is no victim, but in SR we can always pretend there is one if we want.
