@NationalGeographic @travel-NationalGeographic travel is not nearly expensive enough. Stop flying! #stopflying ❌✈️

@NationalGeographic @travel-NationalGeographic what are you guys, a travel agency? You do know that emissions of the tourism sector grow twice as fast as the economy? #stopflying #responsibletourism

@sellathechemist Yes, sadly no mention of frequent flyers or pointing out only a small percentage of the world’s population fly.

No mention of private jets emitting up to 20x more CO2. That comparison would have been good to have alongside the car, train and commercial airline carbon footprints.

Good programme covering a lot of areas people may have been unaware of.

And yes, I agree, these CEO’s don’t believe their own bullshit either.

Some of you are just watching the planet burn, posting about it and doing no more. Go ahead, show me wrong!

I really struggle with how to respond to people who tell me about their many vacation flights when I think we need to #StopFlying

Why are people still flying to climate conferences by private jet?

@CarbonBubble

I have come to the conclusion that the only effective way to eliminate #FossilFuels is to do it on a personal level. Reducing my carbon footprint is a lens through which every decision is filtered. It works!

I know a lot of people who worry about climate change but never take steps to personally address the issue. Isn't it logical for us to actually live on the planet as if we intend to stay?

Lifestyle changes, purchasing decisions, and other forms of reducing one's carbon footprint sucks the air out of the fossil fuel industry. This impactful movement is growing rapidly. While we lobby for governments to change the rules (which may never happen) we can change our lives, save money, improve our health, and move the needle toward a better world for all.

No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.

Be the change.

Our collective decisions matter.

Politicians and corporations are doing all they can to prevent people from protesting fossil fuel projects. Though they can't stop someone from going vegan, stop flying and electrifying their home. Such actions we must take to protect our planet.

I just don’t understand people who agree that climate change is an existential threat and continue to fly because their own work is very important™️. Or fly to climate conferences. Gah! #StopFlying

Flying is a first world privilege to set the world on fire. #StopFlying

“the industry is responsible for around 5% of global warming. … that might not seem like very big contribution. Except, only a very small percentage of the world flies frequently. Even in richer countries like the UK and the US, around half of people fly in any given year, and just 12-15% are frequent fliers.”

Stop flying. That is all. #StopFlying

Same week as the hottest temperatures ever recorded on earth. Flying is a direct cause of the current accelerating collapse of our ecosystems and ability to produce food around the world. We can choose to recognize this and act now. We can choose to divest.

Climate response is up to us. Local response, local mitigation, local adaptation in our own communities.

An older person was telling me about their upcoming European river cruise and said they were traveling as much as they can while they are physically able. They joked that they told their kids not to expect much of an inheritance - they meant money, but I thought about the planet.

Hi. Stop flying. That’s all. #StopFlying

Oi, #BBC, just stop giving flights as prizes in competitions please!

In our book on Sustainable Sailing I've grouped some changes as "The big wins", so far I have:
- Abandon New
- Right Sizing
- Sorting out your poop
- Adding more simplicity
- Add more DIY
- Add more time
- Stop Flying
- Pareto Vegan

Of these "Stop Flying" seems incredibly significant (as a way of cutting #emissions); a challenge to a huge temptation when world cruising; and incredibly controversial.

What is your take on #StopFlying ? Do we push it?
