I gave up air travel nine years ago, and I wrote about it in this new essay on Substack.

Give it a read and a share. I think I've managed not to sound too self-righteous ;)

'What I’ve realised is that flying isn’t just a seriously carbon-intensive mode of transport, It’s a story we’re sold about what it means to live well.'

I gave up flying because of all that it involves @kristiedegaris the costs, the rush, the "security" but mostly because there are those people today who have forgotten how to behave like a decent human being.

@scozmos Yes, that's a whole other side to it that I don't enjoy at all.

I don't think I can cope with the human element any more @kristiedegaris I'm out in the boonies and LOVE the peace and quiet and the lack of others!
