#FlyIngLess
Sporting events are already being cancelled due to excessive heat, extreme weather, wildfires and air pollution.

If you think it's time we stopped airlines and other climate-wrecking companies whitewashing their reputations by sponsoring sporting events, please sign this petition.

We, @thegreenrunners.bsky.social, @badvertising.bsky.social and Flight Free UK, call on event organisers whose races are sponsored by Wizz Air to ditch the airline at the next opportunity and to sign the Cool Down Network’s Fossil Free Declaration.

#FlyingLess puts you in iconic #trains, like this Polish-German InterCity. That’s a decent way to end the #EAAST conference. Including, of course,

It's fine guys. I'm sure our grandkids will understand that our need to fly to holiday resorts in Spain and Italy is greater than their need to survive on a planet devastated by extreme weather events.

Another successful #EV road trip to the continent with the family. 1000 easy miles from Lancashire to Reims and back. Never had to wait while we charged - did that while we ate, slept or were otherwise having fun #flyingless

I'm sure it's only "roughly right", but seems much better than tree planting schemes. #flyingless

Judging by number of Danes on this #dfds passenger ferry, it is surely time for a reopening of the Esbjerg ferry to UK to facilitate #flyingless? - especially as people seek cooler climates for summer holidays, rather than warm ones

If you'd like to be one of the people helping to pull the brakes on this "runaway train", please consider signing a flight free pledge at flightfree.co.uk 🙏🏼

🌎 If you fly for leisure once a year more, stopping flying may be the easiest way to dramatically reduce your CO2 emissions.

It's HUGELY heartening to see schools doing this. 👏🏼

We stopped flying for family holidays when our kids were still at school, but let them fly on school trips because we didn't want them to feel excluded. I hope more schools will follow this lead and do the right thing for the planet.

Did my first flyingless EGU trip end well? Yes, it did, and much better than my return plane trip from EGU24!
After a successful #EGU26 and a couple of workdays, I can enjoy a well-deserved 4-day weekend—I truly need to rest before handling the busy schedule ahead of me, e.g., a paper to write.

I don’t know, I didn’t think about the Italian Riviera route! Given my bad luck during my past plane trips to Vienna and inexperience in flyingless trans Europe trips, I looked for options with as few connections as possible and without sleeper, and I found the Aix-Frankfurt-Vienna route in one day.

@tml Sounds worthwhile in the day too, given @seatsixtyone recommendation,
"If I had to name Europe's most spectacular train ride, it'd probably be the journey from Belgrade to Podgorica and Bar in Montenegro"
One for the 🚄⛴️ list!

Have any #staygrounded or #flyingless folk here tried it?

The current Danish aviation strategy is from 2017, and does not mention climate or CO2 at all. 🤯

Meanwhile the Danish state has recently invested in bailing out SAS and in expanding CPH. 🤦‍♂️

Hi Gianluca. So great to see your travelogue again. I had followed your previous journey daily with fascination a couple years ago. Totally optional, some time when you have internet, may I interview you for a video project of our #flyingless initiative? Email at firstname . lastname at gmail.

Despite having a baby this year, perhaps surprisingly, my household's CO2 footprint is the lowest it's ever been 😅

I calculate this yearly for my undergraduate course. I haven't flown in 14 months and my wife has more than halved her business trips, so our footprint has dropped 🌎 #Flyingless
