idk ... i think this is somewhat ... aehm ... lets call it "stupid"!? why? i don't have the exact numbers for now, but a few years ago a stumbled over a statistic, that flights/flying produces about 5+% of the worldwide man-made CO2. and for comparison: the internet - or "digital communication networks around the world" - produce ... tatarataaaa ... nearly the same amount of CO2: 5+%. nobody stops using the internet because of this: using DVDs or linear TV instead of streams etc. let alone writing some brain-dead "look at me how good i am to / i ditched my career because of the environment" article in the guardian ... but flights/flying is baaaad, really baaaad for the environment!! just my 0.02€ ps. don't get me started on this "everybody is responsible for the climate-change" crap: its "the system", its our economy build on cheap (fossil) energy. its not "us" personally - we can't save the climate, the economy has to change / the foundation its build on. but in our neo-liberal world everything has an individual note attached to it - nobody looks deeper into the roots of problems anymore etc.
