When I was in elementary school, the cafeteria switched to disposable plastic trays because the paper ones hurt trees. Stupid, I know… but are today’s initiatives any better?

The embarrassing thing will be that we did nothing to limit private jets.
If everyone but world leaders had to fly with us poor’s, wed be doing a hell of a lot better than we are.
We never address the easy, large targets because those targets are rich people and they pay for it to not be addressed.
It’s embarrassing that we have an Internet and are unable to come together to fight such a small group of people.
Private jets are a negligible amount of emissions. ALL air travel makes up just 2% of emissions.
Honestly, if that was the only embarrassing thing, we’d be golden.
air travel is negligible.
the real killer is the animal industry and traffic.
and quitting animal consumption is a lot easier than not driving.
I think your final statement is backwards. The world was car-free not very long ago in the grand scheme of things. We’ve never been fully vegan. I agree we should eat fewer animal products as well as driving less, but just because it was easier for you doesn’t mean it’ll be easier for society at large.
This is one of the reasons Elon is destroying the bird - to ruin our internet and its ability to aid collective action.
