American Airlines plane engine catches fire after landing in Denver
Eating is non-optional. There are no staple foods that have a zero carbon footprint, and rice is not exceptionally bad compared to other starches. Rice is roughly equivalent to aviation because there is a lot more rice-eating going on than flying.
Flying is optional for a lot of people. Most people don’t need to fly, or could fly less than they do. Lower-carbon travel options are available for many journeys.
To put your figures another way- if everyone flew half as much, we’d save as much carbon as half the entire global production of rice. That’s a lot.
Those are all great ideas and you should do all those things too.
