  1. This is something that should be emphasized more for sure, especially by environmentalists or people who are in a green party. You can’t be a green without being a socialist.

  3. I would say anyone making over 100k is contributing a hell of a lot, unless they drive an EV, have solar and heat pump and don’t eat animals

  4. Thought about this the other day when I saw one short trip from Leon Musk’s private jet emitted about the same amount of carbon as an average family of 3 puts out in a year.
