Thankful for my family. I am a drifter who lives in her own world but they drag me back into the fold time after time. I don’t attend many family events because I avoid air travel. I got invited on ski trips, shopping trips, Europe, birthday parties, wine tasting trips, vacations to remote islands, … and couldn’t go. They understand. The Thanksgiving weekend had many many jokes. “She is coming on a sail boat on the rivers”. ” She is coming on the train. But for a 4 day weekend, she is going to be in the train for 2 days each way? Do we go to the train station to wave at her? ” “She is coming on bus. We need to look up the bus route to pick her up.” “She is hitchhiking.” “She is driving down in an EV” “She isn’t coming but will video conference.” “Look ! train tracks. Maybe she will jump off here ? ” …. So many rumors till I became a legend. I loved listening to it all. These guys are fun to be around ! I did take a flight to Austin. The emissions cause as much harm as cutting down 11 grown trees in a forest. I did protest deforestation multiple times this year and the irony of it is not lost on me. The emissions cause as much harm as melting 3.3 meter square of ice. My family in India suffers from floods and again, here is how my high carbon lifestyle plays into it. This is the same amount of harm I have avoided by going on a plant based diet for the entire year. Why is this so hard ? Thankful for my support system and to all the climate activists out there who inspire me to keep trying.
