Oh, the things we do and don't do for the climate! It even influences our sustainably conscious buying power. We drink from biodegradable takeaway coffee cups, choose those priceless 100% vegan backpacks made from banana fibres and opt for the bio baby products only. Yes, for us, these climate conscious decisions are our sustainable quantum leaps; they make us feel like the vanguards of climate protection. But then, we hop on a plane or turn on the ignition of our gasoline guzzling cars and in just a few minutes, our efforts go up in a sea of CO2. This brings us to a crucial point: If our vegan backpacks and environmentally friendly goods could talk, how would they feel, what would they say about it all? They'd be extremely frustrated, especially if there were a more climate-friendly way to get around. The message from German Rail: You travel greener by train.
