Emma Fuchs is a 15-year-old climate activist in Berlin. She has been a vegan for over three years, tries to buy only second-hand clothes, and doesn't fly anymore. She said many of her friends live similarly, but she doesn't hold it against people who can't or choose not to make the same lifestyle choices.
"I know that my eco-friendly or healthy choices sometimes make other people act funny. For example, when I say I am vegan some people get really aggressive," Groll told Insider."They act as if I was attacking them because they eat meat. I think that's cognitive dissonance. They yell at you, start a fight or get defensive to reduce their own discomfort. Same happens when a"flight shamer" and an"air traveler" meet.
Climate activists, of course, have much bigger fish to fry: Air travel makes up between 2 and 3% of global annual greenhouse gas emissions. Why 'flight shame' hasn't caught on in the USNo equivalent"flight shame" campaign has caught on yet in the US.
A good idea but somewhat impractical I think. Trains and ships are scenic but too slow. Planes ✈️ can be made cleaner like cars 🚗.
Right, fools; let's get your best people on that one, too.
I can't take much more of this...! Let's be real if she wasn't attractive (AOC) no one would give her the time of day...please please vote them out!!!
