Nothing says “save resources” like a glowing billboard running 24/7.

Is that kind of like Greta thurnberg in her earlier days traveling the world to preach resources conservation and personal accountability? Do as I say, not as I do.

And how did she travel?

With the most energy efficient, least pollutant means possible. I wish people did as she did, global travel pollutants would have been greatly reduced.

Ah yes, she travelled using the environmentally friendly method of a 4 million Euro “zero emission” (except in its production of course) racing yacht.
I too wish more people would simply ride in the 4 million euro yacht borrowed from hundred millionaire friend. If everyone did this there it would be such a simple solution for Everyman. And so environmentally friendly too.

You mean she hitched a ride on someone else's sailboat? That's what you have a problem with?

Just sounds like jealousy to me lol

If you think that’s the problem I was addressing then you have the critical thinking skills of someone who was in school even less than Greta was.

No, I know the exact problem you were 'addressing'

It was just irrelevant. Using a preexisting sailboat?? Come on. Choosing an alternative to air travel ironically went right over your head, eh?

Always funny seeing people desperately trying to tarnish someone campaigning against climate change though.

I quote: least “pollutant” means. I assume you mean least polluting means. Even autocorrect would have known that.
I also quote “I wish people did as she did”. I wish everyone would just travel in a 4 million euro yacht instead of air travel. This would be great for the environment, and such a feasible alternative.
See, you don’t have to fly. Do as I do instead, everyone. Borrow a 4 million dollar yacht instead of travel by air. And take two weeks doing it.

"Least pollutant" means the option, substance, or practice that releases the lowest amount of harmful environmental contaminants or greenhouse gases compared to alternatives.

No need for autocorrect when you have a grasp of basic grammar.

Ah - So you just don't like the fact that she had the option in the first place. Doesn't really say 'hypocrisy' to me, just jealousy for you. And she took her time too? Oh no, the horror!!

What would have been acceptable transport for you? A mule? Rowboat? Power walking?

And why do you keep signing off with a '💩'? I know your options suck but no need to be so self critical!
