If Taylor Swift stops flying how many of us does it count for?

i’ve been trying to have less meals with meat. we had delicious butternut squash curry that was flavorful and filling over rice, and i was super proud of it.

then my husband made chicken to put in all the leftovers… 🤦🏻‍♀️

can’t people just fly less private jets please?

I think I'd schedule a movie night for Earthlings every time he did some asshole move like that

Flying. I don’t like that shit anyway.

[–] Blapoo@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Man, fuck flying.

Been vegan for 3 years now. I lost my superpowers once when a restaurant gave me cheese when I asked for none. I wasn't going to waste food.

Flying sucks ass. So, I'll give up both?

[–] WololoWarrior@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Meat probably. I need to travel for work.

If forced to choose, I'd give up flying. As I'm scared of it anyway, that makes the most sense. :)

That said, I think that if we all just did less of those things, it would be good too. Take more vacations near home. Eat meat only a few times a week. That sort of thing.

Already more or less against meat and eat seldom. Regardless, cannot give up flying or I'll never see my home country nor family again save for a long af boat ride. 🤷‍♂️

Is it even possible to give up flying?

[–] danwardvs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve never flown in my life and I’m doing okay.

[–] reclipse@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago

I have neither.

Could I give up meat for year if I plan on going on vacation that year and eat meat on non travel years?

[–] Lexam@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I just hate flying.

Airfare has to be the winner here right? With the way our global economy is currently set up we still require airplanes to deliver goods and people vast distances quickly.

I’d much rather eat veggies anyway. I’ve just grown to recently really like vegetables more than the meat part of a meal.

Medical supplies yes, but not shit like flowers, cherries, or tourists. Tourism is oversold and I'm so done. Especially cruise ships, just using international waters to dump their garbage

On that note: we really need some regulation on what's allowed on open ocean. It's to important of an eco system to survive without regulations.

And you enforce them at port.
