Climate convert Abigail Disney

samedi 22 juillet 2023 à 09:47

Heiress Abigail Disney used to love riding in her father's private 737 jet. Now she joins civil disobedience to block airports for them, for the sake of climate defense.

I like this statement:

My father was a good and decent man, and so are most of the people who own private planes. But we are facing an active emergency, and decency is worthless when unaccompanied by meaningful action, including a vigorous inquiry into the consequences of our personal choices and preferences. And niceness is a hollow virtue if we do not lift a finger to keep our children and grandchildren safe.

However, I expect that anyone who actually made many millions of dollars in business must have been exploiting people somehow.
