If you don’t have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌🙌 🙌
Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI’s crap. Those are great ideas. But, don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.
Dont fly for vacations
What if you live on an island
Hell yeah, my last international vacation was an Amtrak.
I only ate plants the whole time.
I wish I could get somewhere tropical in the winter without flying. The USA is in the way.
I get that and all but the reality is that the best direct action anyone can take is to avoid flying for vacations. Unlike cars it is technically possible…
Tourism is 100% discretionary. But I aware that I am barking at the wrong tree.
I don’t even have a driver’s license so I can say it is technically possible to not drive!
And yeah I try to vacation close to home. Lots of great options. But nowhere warm in the winter.
