Hate to say we told you so but so-called "sustainable aviation fuel" is and always has been a fantasy. The only solution to the climate impacts of flying is to fly LESS. www.greenairnews.com?p=8262
Supply shortage means airlines have no chance of meeting a 10% SAF by 2030 target, says IATA chief
Targets set by airlines to have a 10% mix of sustainable aviation fuel in their fuel consumption by 2030 will be impossible to achieve, believes Willie Walsh, Director General of industry body IATA.…

Eurostar services set to gradually resume this afternoon after power failures. Hope everyone gets where they're going, and that this doesn't put people off train holidays: disruption happens however we travel! www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c9...

In the last 7 days, 300 million people have flown from UK airports. Today let's imagine a future where we put all our human creativity and intelligence to use in service of life and the natural world 🌎

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!)

If only we already had a planet green with life. Wouldn't that be something!

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)
December 18, 2025 at 10:01 AM
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.

This is down to us all.
Government and city action is vital. And so is personal responsibility.

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.
