Although nice, a single person won’t make a difference. We need to change as a whole of society, and that means legislation. 2020 showed society can shift when faced with dire consequences.
- rbg246 6y agoFor your own ethics and morality you should try though.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoSociety needs pioneers to show that you can reduce your environmental impact whilst still having a good quality of life.
- FrojoS 6y agoA lot of things need critical mass. Being able to fly now and then increases my quality of life. Quitting flying won't lead us into a future of carbon free air travel, but legislation might.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoLegislation can't really make air travel carbon neutral, there is no technology on the horizon that will allow crossing the Atlantic without emitting a ton of carbon.
- FrojoS 6y agoSynthetic carbon based fuels for instance could be made green house gas neutral. It's just not economical so far.
- chungus_khan 6y agoThe idea that individual action even can is so utopian. When I'm emperor there will be no crime because everyone will recognize that crime is bad, even if doing crime benefits them. Individual action isn't bad or anything, but we can't just wish away our problems by saying that everyone will get along.
