This is of course heading in the opposite direction of what a habitable planet requires, which is that we all fly on jets a whole lot less frequently. @flightfreeusa.bsky.social

Considering the role of aviation in the climate crisis, especially from frequent flyers, it might feel like pretty fair 'karma' from the planet? I don't wish anyone injuries but I do wish for much less flying! What do you think @flightfreeuk.bsky.social and @flightfreeusa.bsky.social?

🚨 Private jets = pinnacle of climate injustice In 2023, they caused more emissions than all flights from Heathrow. And the US has particularly dirty hands: Florida & Texas alone outpolluted the entire EU 💀 We need to #BanPrivateJets now. Taxing them is the bare minimum.

Cheap flights encourage 'unthinking' tourism: in-and-out travel that damages the environment and harms communities. Monuments crumble from the constant passage of hands and feet, places are left strewn with rubbish, and residents are forced out in favour of tourists. Is this really what we want?

flightfree.co.uk

What about tourism?

We know that air travel facilitates global tourism, and if we were to stop flying, communities who rely on our visits would suffer. But is that the full story?

The UK just approved the expansion of Luton Airport — a reckless decision that flies in the face of climate science, public health, and global justice. This is not “green growth”. It’s greenwashing on a runway. Read our press release: stay-grounded.org/luton-airpor... 1/3

More flights = more emissions = more climate breakdown. We know the only way to reduce aviation emissions is to reduce air traffic. And yet, Luton is just one of many UK airports set to expand. 2/3

The UK is on an airport expansion spree (Gatwick, Heathrow, Bristol, Manston, Stansted, London City).

Yes, reducing emissions is a BIG reason why we challenge people to go flight-free for a year. But it's also about breaking your habits! Flying is often thought of as the default travel method, so by challenging yourself to stop flying you get the chance to discover other ways of travelling.
