Give up meat – and fly more

If you frame the question in this way, you can say: Just do what you like. After all, who is the zeitgeist? And who do you have to justify to? Climate activists have no idea about your credit card statement.

It seems that you suffer from dissonance: on the one hand, you vulgarize critical arguments about the fashion for philosophy, on the other hand, they seem to convince you. So the question of legality obviously applies to you.

If you want to travel in a climate-friendly way, you can fly short distances every three years and long distances every seven. But this is unrealistic. So you need to think a little further:

1. Meat consumption has a huge impact on the environment. Switzerland can only produce half the food for all the animals that are slaughtered here, the rest it has to import from South America, where the rainforests are cleared for cultivation. If you eat less meat, you can fly more often!

2. The most dangerous climate killers sit in our parliament. Next time choose people who care about nature. It is also a contribution to environmental protection.

3. Used items do not need to be re-manufactured. Buy your next used car, your next iPhone at Revendo and your next digital camera at Tutti or Ricardo. At Galaxus, you can choose climate compensation with every purchase. By the way, you can also compensate for your flights.

4. Traveling by train is also quite pleasant.

There are various ways to reduce your ecological footprint. Use them as much as possible – and for God’s sake, enjoy your travels! A bad conscience will not help anyone.
