Whether your and everyone else's Thanksgiving travels would be possible in a Greta compatible scenario is a question you may want to ask her personally. Perhaps she has an answer.

My husband and I were just talking this afternoon about what a pain it would be to have a horse and buggy for local trips and a covered wagon with a team of oxen for long trips. There are some small campers made to be towed with a bicycle, but at our age we'd probably have a heart attack trying to ride up the first hill out of town.
I want the Jetson's flying car, not the Flintstones' foot-powered car.

Hi Charlene,
actually I think it might be a lot of fun to have a horse and buggy for short trips when it is not raining, not snowing, not colding, not storming, You could leisurely talk with fellow horse buggy riders while cruising down El Camino Real on your stylish way to the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto to pick up a delightful broccoli sandwich and some diamonds.
I suspect that the Jetson's flying car is not carbon-proof but the Flintstones' foot-powered car is. So Greta darling, who by now may have arrived in Spain for COP25 after traversing the Atlantic in a million dollar catamaran, will likely not support your flying car phantasy but strongly recommend Flintstone tech.

Hi sequoia,
Since humans are carbon based, and much of the food we consume, the Flintstone foot-powered mobile is not carbon-proof either. Nor would riding a bike, or horse with or without a wagon. Forget running or walking also.
Heck, we can't even go swimming in the ocean without polluting it.
Have a great stormy weekend, and make sure you don't breath outside your CO2 containment bubble.

Hi Jeff,
from CO2 polluter (real bad) to CO2 polluter (even worse?):
Real bad it has gotten, especially in the thinking department, which has more and more turned into a sinking department. I wonder if any of these "CO2 bad" mongers has ever thought about their own breathing and how much CO2 they exhale as a function of what they consume eating and drinking-wise and what they think or not think, do or not do.
CO2 containment bubble sounds good. Where can I get one? Preferrably a portable variety so I can go hiking in the mountains.
You bring up the undeniable fact that even Fred Flintstone's foot powered translocator is not carbon-proof. Now, that is a real bummer. Perhaps you want to write a letter to Greta explaining that even stone-age technology won't get rid of CO2. Of course, it might help her understand Flintstone tech if you could supply one of your ancient riolling boulders which is hidden in your hay barn. Plus you can't use hay either. When it decays or is eaten: CO2! and, even worse, Methane!
The other day I read an article about massive orchestrated tree planting going on in China to reclaim land from the desert. If I can find it again I will post the news.
There would be a natural remedy for all CO2 woes experienced by Greta and her followers. Plant trees, one for every human CO2 polluter per year. This is do-able, especially for aspiring Gretaists, and could regreen an 800000 square kilometer area per year, at one tree per 100 square meters, altogether equivalent to a patch of land 900 km by 900 km, roughly speaking.
I hope I got all the zeroes right in my computation, assuming an earth population of 8 billion persons.
