The best lie the fossil fuel industry ever told was that a more carbon-intensive life is a more enjoyable one.
Eating a variety of plant based foods is also fun!!!
I fly business class now, no screaming babies in Business class and the seats are much better for my back
Ever since I started keeping track of my family’s emissions, flying isn’t something I’m excited about anymore. Local vacations by EV is the way I want to go from now on.
Example: One return flight to Hawaii for 2 produced the same emissions as our entire **household of now 4 for an entire year** (Electricity+LNG+Gas).
It didn’t use to be.
I travel first class around Europe, for slightly more than a BA shuttle costs. I enjoy my dinner in Paris, breakfast in London, as I go. Trains rule!
