Flying
We face a climate emergency. So should we all stop flying? Or at least feel guilty when we fly (flight-shame)? I’m not convinced. Because I don’t think it will work. We’ve been trying to guilt people into sustainability for decades without success. The airline industry is responsible for 2% of global carbon emissions. They must find pathways to carbon neutrality, but other sectors like agriculture and energy have much more to do. There are also many other ways to reduce our carbon footprint, like supporting plant-based diets, renewable electricity, reforestation, public transport, electric cars and circular economy.
