I can’t argue with that. There needs to be immediate change on all fronts.

This means that I wont suck on a paper straw while mr CEO flies in his private jet. Dead easy.

So far, there have mostly been changes that target the lives of people who already have a small CO2 footprint. I don’t even own a car for example.

The mere existence of private jets is an atrocity while the „lesser“ of us need to invest time and effort to change their ways.

Obviously, there are those of us who like to leave their v8 running while in the grocery store and they absolutely need to stop. No emptying the ashtray on the street or going to starbucks every day and get a one use cup every time. But still, I‘m done listening to people telling me I‘m not doing enough.
