   17.9°C at the Netherlands' main meteorological station in De Bilt today.
   Highest temperature this early in the year (1901-), beating the old record by a full degree!

     @dmbaturin @Sustainable2050 the single biggest thing (except for not flying every week) one could have done hasn't changed the past decades: #goVegan.

     The next biggest thing is spreading this #vegan message.

     @Sustainable2050 And there are fewer and fewer things anyone can do to improve the situation in any way, when corporations and governments are actively making it worse...

     @dmbaturin @Sustainable2050
     It is obvious that you're a meat eater looking for an excuse not to #goVegan.

     One continental flight compares to a year of eating meat. Only fifty of us can neutralize the harm done by such a super rich flying bastard.

     Of course, the super rich do produce a terrific share of CO2, but (many of us) going #vegan will have an immense impact.

     Of course, one should go vegan for the animals anyway.

     @janneke @Sustainable2050 The problem is that someone flying their private jet every week easily negates the effort of thousands of us who adhere to plant-based diets, so that individual choice makes no difference in the grand scheme of things.
     And the world is now rapidly turning to "drill, baby, drill".

     @dmbaturin @Sustainable2050

     Yes, I'm assuming too much and jumping to conclusions. I'll give you that.

     I suppose that's what having years of "discussions" with people who pay for animal suffering and the destruction of your planet does to you. Also, message/tone policing is usually a dead give-away. The only reason that I'm replying is that I'm *really* hoping you're going to prove me wrong here so that I might learn something.

     So please shame me for my untimely conclusions and tell us what an ethical #vegan like yourself hopes to gain from posting such a defeatist message "there are fewer and fewer things anyone can do..." as you did,' when it's so bloody obvious that getting others to go vegan may well save your planet?

     @janneke @Sustainable2050 It's obvious that you love to jump to conclusions and put words into people's mouth. I suggest that you should stop doing that if you want to have productive conversations.

     Where did I say I was a meat-eater?
