@VanBizWiz Travel from Canada to Denmark (an example) is the quickest way to burn fuel (and contribute to climate change, and forest fires that cannot be put out).

@sarobertsonca @kim_siever As a taxpayer I want to have nothing to do with, and feel no obligation to support, an industry that exists because we have cheap fuel and ignore basic physics.
Most air travel is frivolous and it’s not up to me to make sure it’s efficient (or survives long term).

This is beautiful. Takes me back to when I travelled to Europe over 25 years ago. I consider myself so lucky in my/our #LessFlying world.
“Films” like this would be something VR + AI would probably be great for.
There are so many city-building elements, details & choices that make this water-edge stroll in Utrecht so sublime. Never forget though, that everything you see & hear (and don’t hear) is possible because there aren’t many cars. HT @FilmendeFietser #Dutch

@ryankatzrosene @RogerCoppock Aviation requires too much energy… any propulsion energy source uses land or electricity or whatever, that we need badly for more important things: heating and running farms and such.
How can we allocate THAT much energy to leisure? It makes no sense.
#LessFlying decarbonizes.
First leg to Brussels done. Foot, buses & trains may be slower, but the two mile walk from my office was a more peaceful & enjoyable start than Manchester airport departure lounge! #lessflying
@MrMatthewTodd “I want my holiday in <far away places> but if I believe in climate change I won’t be able to justify flying there every year”
People are complicated creatures, and for me this is the only way to make sense of it. Pattern seems to fit pretty well in my circle. <sigh>

@WeatherProf @BatcaveSlimer “Views on climate change” might be hard to measure accurately when lifestyles are in the spotlight. Perceptions here matter. It’s a tangly question. Eg friends say “I can’t fix this” …and then buy flights to a cruise. Rational thinking can’t keep up with Wants.

I really don’t care about people’s half hour traffic delays to/from the fucking airport.

The sooner we stop normalizing “let’s burn more fuel” the better off we’ll all be.
Wake up and smell the ecosystem collapse. #LessFlying
@AnnaPigott @SwanseaUni Thank you!
We need reductions. Now.
An offset can also be described as: do something good for the climate and then offset that with some damage.
Airlines LOVE the people who sell offsets, even if the offsets are legitimate.
#LessFlying is a cultural shift that we need to WORK on.
@slav_metalurges My pet peeve: glorifying air travel, as though it’s not wrecking our climate.
Had to be said, sorry not sorry.

@nephologue Not flying is so easy to do, but people still “need” to fly.
#LessFlying
Tourist industry might suffer. It’s part of a fantasy world. Needs to end, more or less.
@NoreenWise777 Please let’s not be part of the problem.

@drdagly Share your little wins. Builds momentum, and politicians CANNOT ignore that.
Ours: insulated. Heat pump. Bike. #LessFlying since 2000. Local beers. Solar PV.
SO many opportunities have zero impact on lifestyle.
@AirCanada Nobody talk about how airlines don’t pay full fuel tax, and exist basically to make money by burning fuel. Lots of it. #LessFlying #ClimateEmergency
Carbon Offsets, in perspective. (And so cheap too!) #LessFlying
So clever!

@BrandalismUK
Where I am, we have:
- ExxonMobil touting collaborations with University of California scientists in greenwashing propaganda for carbon capture and sequestration.
- Buses driving around with "clean natural gas" on the side.
@EarthTrustee @ClareSaxon When one flight burns nearly a full year of my personal average CO2 quota I pay attention to this choice. #LessFlying https://t.co/Kbn8bbm0ZU
@ClareSaxon It means you’re thinking of them. The climate doesn’t care if a 1% flies or a frequent 80%-er flies. This choice will get more people talking and one day it will click for them. ✋
Many smaller choices.. it all adds up (sort of). #LessFlying #ClimateEmergency
@business Air travel: the cheapest and quickest way to cook the planet, tax free!
#ClimateEmergency #LessFlying
@piparazzie @HeinemannLab @eaglehibma Airlines will notice. Every 300th non-flight might mean a cancelled route. They’re burning money to keep those machines in the air and it can’t go on without passengers. #LessFlying
@sonyasavage Bikes are the solution. Car sharing is the solution. #lessflying is the solution. The thirst for profits will just drag this out longer and make things harder for everyone. #ClimateEmergency
