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.'

@kristiedegaris I decided not to fly back around 1990, when I read about climate change. I thought I was being reasonable, but I was just weird obviously. Traveled to Scotland by bus a couple of times.

@limpr That shows such an incredible amount of foresight re climate change! I hope Scotland was worth the bus journey!

@kristiedegaris @limpr I just thought it was obvious, and that everyone would come to the same conclusion soon. Lol. Yes, Scotland was worth it and the bus journeys made it even more special.
