Out of curiosity who is preaching about this on the forum and flying private planes? Some people due to particular circumstances in their lives have to do what they have to do.
I don’t thing anybody gives a hoot if you keep it off. Mine is set on.
I think they’re talking more about the politicians, actors, executives, and all the “higher ups” that keep telling the general public that it’s our cars, our use of plastic bottles, our plant watering, our charging our phones that’s killing the planet, and not their use of private jets to fly from one city to the next, cool, heat and maintain several mansions with giant pools of pristine water, and operate their businesses and lives with an excess of waste.
Not all of them, but so many of the rich people that tell us we’re the problem, live their life to the fullest anyway. The solution starts by clean energy production, shutting down the cruise industry which outputs so much more emissions than anyone could believe, scaling back on how much cattle is being raised, how much land is wasted on soy and corn, much of it for said cattle, to stop producing so much plastic and then blame us for buying it, for the giant corporations to limit their carbon footprint. Cars with lithium batteries don’t consume gas, sure! But they have to strip mine mountains for it, and they’re charged by the same exact dirty energy sources that Apple is trying “help relieve” with “Clean Energy Charging” - a phone is a drop in a bucket compared to a electric car!
But no, my 90’s Volvo that gets better gas mileage than many new cars is the problem, sure. Charging my phone mid day, that’s the problem! Yes. This will protect the earth! I’m doing my part!
(Don’t get me wrong, I’m for electric cars - but not with current lithium tech and not when the electric grid is neither equipped for the huge influx of vehicles they want to merge to nor is it clean)
Sorry, that’s my soap box hah
