An Open Letter to the World’s Wealthiest 1%:

We are addressing you directly because your choices hold disproportionate weight over the future of our planet. As the global climate crisis accelerates, the extreme carbon footprint generated by luxury lifestyles is no longer a matter of personal privacy or individual freedom—it is a direct threat to human survival.

We call on you to take immediate responsibility and lead by example.

Petition Statement:

Lifestyle choices are within our control—if you understand that your actions accelerate climate degradation, you have the responsibility to change them.

We are in the midst of a critical climate emergency. With life on Earth dying and basic human survival continuously threatened, high-carbon habits can no longer be defended as matters of "personal freedom."

We call on ultra-wealthy individuals to immediately eliminate or drastically cut the following extreme-emission practices:

【1. Transportation】

 Private Jets: Emitting over 10 times more CO2 per passenger than commercial flights, a single short trip emits as much carbon as an average person produces in several months.

 Mega-Yachts: Running powerful diesel engines year-round to maintain crew readiness, these are among the single highest-emitting personal possessions, generating thousands of tons of CO2 annually.

 Luxury SUVs & Hypercars: High-displacement gas vehicles and specialized sports cars with exceptionally resource-intensive manufacturing footprints.

 Space Tourism: Commercial spaceflights lasting just minutes consume and release hundreds of tons of carbon per passenger in a single launch.

【2. Real Estate & Property】

 Mega-Mansions & Multiple Estates: Properties equipped with heated pools, climate-controlled greenhouses, and private golf courses consume tens to hundreds of times more energy than average households just for basic maintenance.

【3. Leisure & Travel】

 Frequent First-Class International Travel: Taking up significantly more physical space, first-class seating multiplies per-passenger flight emissions compared to economy class.

 Helicopters & Private Charters: Short-distance transit to ski resorts, golf courses, and private islands.

【4. Investments & Asset Management】

 Funding Fossil Fuel & High-Emission Industries: Holding shares or funds in oil, gas, mining, and heavy industry indirectly finances massive carbon output.

We must act now to prevent climate tipping points from falling like dominoes. We no longer have time to debate "future carbon taxation." We are already in the damage-control phase of a runaway crisis. Every additional ton of carbon directly raises global temperatures.

While everyday citizens must do their part, meaningful climate action is impossible if the ultra-wealthy do not curb their footprint. Those suffering first and worst are low-income populations, developing nations, and low-latitude regions without access to basic infrastructure or air conditioning.

Stop stealing the future of the younger generation. End high-carbon luxury lifestyles now.
