Should we still fly? ✨🌈🦄 Social change towards sustainability has no simple answers. Should we attend Impact Days or any of the ViennaUp events from abroad?  I think so. Should international speakers inspire change and travel the world?  Most definitely. Should we act in a socially responsible way and clean up the dirt behind us? Of course. Many of you have likely already compensated their greenhouse gas emissions. I believe the best way to encourage conscious social behaviors is to let artists speak in their native language, arts, and ensure activists get the funding needed to nudge the world into a better place. Let’s put our startup idea to the ultimate test… will our users buy it? Will you buy it and clean up behind you? Clean it up like an #Artivist with us ✨🌈🦄 (Link in Comments) Big thanks for coming over! It was a blast connecting with you and learning so much from this incredible community of social entrepreneurs, change makers, scientists, investors and innovators. Safe travels, everyone! Thanks millions to the Impact Hub Vienna team for organizing this amazing event! #ImpactDays2024 #ImpactDays #ViennaUp #TogetherInImpact #Tech2Impact #InsideOut #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Cleanup #Footprint  #GreenTravel #SustainableTravel #ResponsibleTravel #TravelSustainably #ConsciousTravel #TravelResponsibly #TravelForGood #CarbonNeutrality #ClimateResponsibility #ClimateImpact #CarbonFootprint #EnvironmentalResponsibility #NetZero #ClimateMitigation
