But if you and your family stop using plastic straws, turn the heat down in winter, meticulously sort all your recycling and use public transport more for the next decade, you can help Jeff Bezos offset the emissions for his next weekend trip to the Maldives!
Something inside me just died.
Oof
I'd prefer to reduce climate impact by running over Bezo's head with a tank.
Well yea. If every person reduced their impact by a tonne, that's 65 tonnes of CO2 saved
How many private jets is that?
Woah there, not everyone!
We can't expect the wealthy jet owners to participate, we are trying to offset their carbon usage after all, it wouldn't be fair if they had to do it as well..
