> Are holidays really a big thing? I know flights are technically hard to decarbonise today, but I don't think I've ever seen numbers suggesting they're a big priority compared with the low hanging fruit or that individual action is the best way to solve it.
But leisure travel is an extremely low-hanging fruit when compared with e.g. food, isn't it? Nobody has to take a vacation by plane, but everybody has to eat.
The tourist industry is pretty wasteful and similar to the fashion industry: it's pretty much entirely unnecessary luxury. Compare that to e.g. concrete manufacturers or farms, they're not only necessary, they're pretty far from the top of the pyramid: you'll have a very hard time without them.
