The yoghurt cup example is excellent, I would argue, for the same reasons. The yoghurt cup example is the sacrifice of a small amount of time and effort for no gain for yourself - in exchange for a gain for society.
How many of those private jet owners could’ve sacrificed a small amount of time and effort in taking commercial flights in exchange for a massive gain for society’s environmental health?
The issue is that the yoghurt cup is only a tiny sacrifice, but it’s also only a tiny gain (as long as the alternative isn’t ‘just dump it in the river’). I suppose regular people don’t have a lot of opportunities to do a small sacrifice that will actually have a big impact compared to the effort, once they took the hurdle of not being a complete asshole.
I fly at most 2-3 times a year, not privately. I have a feeling that these people are flying significantly more than that. So not only do they pollute more per flight they fly more frequently
Exactly. Think about how many times a year Taylor Swift takes a plane somewhere while on tour. That’s why I can’t fw her. And her music. Her music too.
