I took the train & ferry from Utrecht to Helsinki (8h + 30h) for a workshop... and I totally loved it! 😍

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

*A thread on flying and shaming*
I was inspired to start advocating low-carbon birding by the ‘flying less movement’ and climate scientists such as Kevin Anderson and Peter Kalmus.
The flyingless website makes it clear that the initiative is not about shaming.

Nice primer on Sustainable Aviation Fuel #SAF. #TLDR: there's very little available, and it's primary use is to motivate and facilitate #PredatoryDelay in effective climate mitigation. My own takeaway: we (global north) need measures for #FlyingLess or, preferably, not at all.
Since January 2025, EU and UK jet fuel must include at least 2% SAF. But how does it work? @journalismfund #earthinvestigations buff.ly/NaMyiq3

Long trip back to Copenhagen starts with EV to Lyon + a packed but slowly emptying train to Geneva, during which I have been completely captured by an #IainMBanks #Culture novel. Actually, surprisingly my first. That's the gift of both train travel and a good book. #bookstodon #booksky #FlyingLess

Tip for #FlyingLess as a family: prepare for long train rides with games. When the board + card games start to pall, #privacy friendly app games by @secusoresearch.bsky.social are brilliant; easy to use, stable + not stealing your data (or trying to sell your kids stuff).

I’ve had a #flightfree 2 years, with some epic train & bus trips to conferences & holidays on mainland #Australia; for this trip, at least #flyingless helps reduce the impact (& adds epic-ness)

Turns out that flying London > Darwin + bus/ferry > Hobart, instead of flying all the way to Hobart, saves about 330 kg CO2 (including radiative forcing: the extra impact of emissions high in the atmosphere).
Is 330 kg a lot? It’s 11% of the trip; also 9% of Sweden’s 2022 per capita emissions 😳

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
