She has my vote.

When I retired early from my proper job in 2000 (went part time locally) I vowed I wouldn't fly again having had to do far too much for work, I have no regrets whatsoever either.
I often ponder the damage my Company did though over the years.

On the one hand I can see and appreciate her reasoning. However she does go on to say he will only complete within the EU. So travel she must. While a train or short flight to the EU is far less damaging than flying to Australia, it's still traveling which. Wanting ones cake and to eat it too comes to mind...

Yes she is quite young so it will be interesting to see how her career unfolds as far as running goes with the environmental juggling.

Very true My previous comment was perhaps a smidge curt. It is good that her actions are bringing light to the subject. Just hope that as you say, not to the detriment of her career.

A good nod to Altruism, but I'm afraid that the other 98% "disinterested" youth will make it meaningless. The environmental impact of social media alone ( Network servers, Databanks, powering/cooling etc) , which is needed to publicise such intentions, makes it a self defeating act. Sad but true...
