    But, I’d suck it up for the, you know, sake of the continuation of pleasant life on Earth.

    See I’m of the opinion that the ultra rich should give up their private jets and yachts before the rest of us are made to eat literal bugs.

    I for one will be eating the rich long before I eat any crickets.

      Well, yeah, for sure. But, unlike chemical pollution and water misuse, the food is actually something the overall population can do something about on individual levels to have an effect. A few folks eating bugs won’t do much, but millions would. Whereas with pollution, companies produce millions of persons’ worth of pollution every year, some more. A private jet produces more pollution in one trip than my entire family does in a whole year. There’s nothing I or anybody else can do to offset that.

        Don’t you think the person who owns the private jet could do something about that?

        That’s my whole point.
