For such a young, and presumably ultra-competitive person to make such a sacrifice, going against her 'ego-personal interests' in favour of taking a responsible position is encouraging.
So many young people get it - it's them that are going to be living it after all. Older folk need to take note and put aside their own short-term selfish interests in the same way. It's the only thing to do. If we care. |  |

Very good but many wouldn't make a sacrifice at such as a personal level.
You only need look at the numbers of people booking foreign holidays now, even after all the evidence of reduced air travel had on the environment during Covid, and in a such a short space of time.
Humans are selfish creatures by nature. |  |

Brave girl. I wonder what impact that will have on her career.
I fully understand cynicism around getting enough people to change their behaviours around this. We've stopped flying since we got back from America in 2018, but that hasn't been tested yet for a 'must do' or chance of a lifetime trip. Holidays are now within driving (probably not much better!) or rail distance. I don't know what would happen if the missus got a placement out in NZ and we had the chance to move there for 6 months - that would test the resolve for sure. |  |
