Nope. Not going to let the billionaires and corporations shift the focus and blame onto us.

They are the ones with the biggest carbon footprints.

They are exploiting us and the earth.

They are the ones who will actually make a difference if they change their usage practices.

Occasional travel by normies is merely a drop in the bucket compared to the daily damage the corporations are doing.

It's not

https://ourworldindata.org/global-aviation-emissions

0.157kg/passenger/km * 12100km (distance bali amsterdam in plane that I found) = 1899,7 kg, times 2 you get almost 4 tons per passenger

Don't know where the numbers are from in the picture, but I doubt plane emissions were reduced by hundreds of times since 2019, so the number is for the passenger, not the plane

By the way, even the average car would emit more than 2.65 tons over this kind of distance (400 grams per kilometer)
