cyclotopie, #TheGuardian: "the huge #climate impact of the #middleClass"
"The lavish lifestyles of the very #rich – the 1% – attract attention. But the 10% [paid more than about $40,000/yr] are responsible for half of all global emissions, making them key to ending the #climateCrisis."
"Transport, especially #car use, [but also] goods…, such as #furniture and #electronics… are 20-50 times higher for the richest 10%, and make up ≈⅓ emissions in most countries."
We all need to act.
