To everyone flying today for a weekend away: we hope you have an amazing holiday. *And* we really hope that next time you'll consider different travel options that are fairer & kinder to the world. (The two sentiments aren't mutually exclusive!)

Today, lots of people will be flying away for the weekend. But some of them might even be flying for *the day*. Is the fad of 'extreme day tripping' really a part of the culture we want? If yes, why? If no, why not?

More views. More unexpected conversations. More time to soak it all in. More adventure. (Just some of the benefits of slow travel i.e. getting trains across borders rather than flying A to B)

We've only really been flying commercially since the '50s. So why does the culture make us feel like it's indispensable? Newsflash: flying isn't a birth right - it's a massive privilege.

Old growth forests are irreplaceable. And now we're being told that the pollution on the air is so great that trees are struggling to absorb it all. Planting trees to offset our emissions isn't the magic fix airlines hope it is. Time for all of us to step up and go flight free.

People seem to think business flights make up the majority of trips. Not true. In the UK, they're only about 10% of international flights. Sorry, holidaymakers! We *all* need to change the way we think about flying.

Heard airlines touting 'bio fuel' as the solution? In order to scale it, we’d need to cover the land that we *currently use for food* in biofuel crops. One day the penny will drop: we can't magic away our impact on the planet. We have to reduce flying and reduce consumption now.

Agree Paul Dano is a decent actor but also we're hurtling towards 4 degrees of warming by 2060 so its hard to get worked up about it.

What is there to say? Airports are a disaster for wildlife, flying is a disaster for the climate and expanding Europe's busiest airport in a time of ecosystem collapse is madness. Guess it will be a short report.
The transport secretary, Heidi Alexander asks @thecccuk.bsky.social to advise the Government on the shaping of the revised Airports National Policy Statement (ANPS) in the wake of the Government’s decision to endorse the building of a third runway at Heathrow.

Yes, animal farming produces more CO2 than flying - globally. But most of the world's population don't fly. In richer countries, we have a responsibility to do more (or less).

Is it better to go vegan or stop flying?
It’s commonly quoted that animal agriculture produces more CO2 than aviation, therefore giving up meat would have more impact than giving up flying. We look at the numbers behind the claims.

People overwhelmingly want to do the right thing. People want safe futures and clean air. It's politics and profit that always gets in the way.
We can't leave it up to someone else to fix the state our planet is in.
