And/or you could recognize that you may have used a fair portion of your allotment of highly-polluting energy and curtail or eschew future unnecessary flights. Lots of things can be done to make a difference if you wish to.
You seem quite adeptĀ at telling EVERYONE else specifically what THEY should do, and yet, I find you to be very nonspecific as to what it is YOU have done.
I wrote the CEO's of both the insurance company and the medical center about not only the unnecessary cost the insurance company paid but the carbon footprint needlessly wasted. Granted, however, the 3 flights we took for medical appointments would have flown regardless of us being or not being on them, but I have been proactive and responsive to this excess waste by at least bringing it to the CEO's of both entities involved.
However, I am sure that they are entirely way too busy to see my letters, as they are out and about earning their 7-digit salaries, but I am sure, somehow, there is a bonus trigger by the volume of flights purchased from Hawaiian Airlines to transport a medical patient and her authorized escort.
Nonetheless, I'd love to hear your SPECIFIC contributions to lessening or eliminating YOUR carbon footprint, instead of a diatribe of what everyone else should do.
