    This is not supposed to be personal, but an additional point is how it is completely natural to us as a society to fly somewhere. Even if it’s for work.

      Absolutely.

      I don’t fly often, but my entire team travels for work, meaning they are on the road all day, everyday. We are a sales organization and that’s what is expected by our customers.

      I’m not exempt from blame here. I do what I can to reduce my footprint, sadly it’s not much.

        I fully understand. I did that for a long time, too (working and participating in a frequent flying environment). But that’s really where we need to change society. The way we think about things that we have never questioned before.

        And one additional thing should become very clear: it’s not only about our footprint. Someone needs to stop others from destroying everything, from flying, from coal rolling monster suvs etc. And as there are too few people being that someone, we need to be that someone.
