    Did you know that rice produced nearly as much greenhouse gases as aviation in 2020? Are you going to call on people to stop eating rice? Same goes for fish. And shipping. And landfills. And crop burning. And a bunch more other things.

    Did you know that chocolate is in the top 5 of GHG emitters for food? Now only that, chocolate is collected most often by kids in developing countries. Are you going to call for a chocolate boycott? What about people’s precious iPhones and Macs? Those unrepairable things that end up on the landfill when a Apple slows then down artificially after a few years? Boycott those, right?

    Aviation is a small problem. Cars are a much bigger one. Take a friggin bus, cycle, or walk more. Residential heating is a big problem too. You don’t need 25C during the winter in your home. You don’t need a 10-20 minute shower. All of those will have a bigger impact than skipping on one or two holidays.
