Yeah, you did in fact read that right. Uber flying is now a thing! From UberJets to Uber Elevate to KinectAir, you can now catch a private jet ride share. It sounds so futuristic yet so dystopian as we fall deeper and deeper into a climate crisis. This is NOT a solution. Let's learn about air travel ride shares and the environmental impact of private jets.

The US sooo needs high speed electric trains, like Japan and France!

@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist 4 месяца назад

yes!! after living in Japan, I've never felt the same about trains hahaha

@stevefisher2553 4 месяца назад

You nailed it, unfortunately there is no stopping this pattern to cater to the rich.

@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist 4 месяца назад

ugh I know it's so frustrating

@mariadesantiago8696 4 месяца назад

High speed rail please… I was actually fantasizing about trolleys, real bike lanes, efficient public transport and sidewalks that don’t abruptly end on my walk home from University.

@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist 4 месяца назад

so many better ways than cars!

@j87waldo 4 месяца назад

They are choking out the environment.... It sad really

@stevefisher2553 4 месяца назад

We want rail!

@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist 4 месяца назад

YESSS!!

I love train travel, but I want more than one train a day to travel the West Coast, or even going from Oakland to Salt Lake City (and arriving at 3am! At least the city transit system was smart enough to time trollies from the train station to various downtown locations).

@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist 4 месяца назад

right!! we have some but we need more! @@karinhart489

@hannahtheherb 4 месяца назад

You're so right we need to get real about who is actually to blame.

@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist 4 месяца назад

right! we're on each other's team and there are clear people to blame and it's not one another

I don't even like to think about the wealthy contributing to global warming. Makes me furious 😡 My cousin is a stewardess on private flights for celebrities and famous people. She can't believe all that is wasted on one flight. Tons of expensive food that is wasted is disgusting. She brings that food home to her family. They eat chef prepared meals along with other things. You would be surprised at some of the rude behaviors of some of these people. Nothing gets to me more than ignorant rude egocentric spoiled wealthy brats. Ok...vented...feel a bit better lol. Great video!😊

i'm not sure i would be surprised haha

I'm hoping the aviation industry will look into Algae fuel, think that could be better over electric... that sector needs more love and attention.

@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist 4 месяца назад

that's cool!

Sounds like they are trying to control the development of George Jetson’s flying car that folds into a brief case. The one where they are selling the empty leg of a flight so it doesn’t have to deadhead (a trucking term) is the only one that makes sense, sort of… especially if one has a group you want to get from Miami to Cleveland instead of an individual. Meanwhile, back here in the land of trying to get that high speed rail between LA & SF/Sacramento. Maybe I’ll get to ride it before my time here on earth ends. (I hate flying & prefer rail travel). PS: while listening to an economic news report on corporate earnings one of the biggie paper towel companies reported while they made more profits due to jacking up the price, consumer consumption of paper towels dropped in the last quarter of 2023. See, your videos are having a positive impact by recommending making one’s own reusable cleaning rags from old clothes. 🙃
