The data shows a foot-passenger ferry emits ~19g CO2e/km, while a short flight emits 255g. For a long journey, the most efficient option is often a train (41g) or international rail like the Eurostar (6g). The key is choosing the right low-carbon tool for the trip, which flying rarely is.

Interrail really keeps the cost of this journey down. 5-day passes bought in the sale, + seat reservations for 4 trains there and 3 trains back, came to £365. Not bad for an 8-day holiday to four different cities! 🇬🇧>🇪🇸

Day 3, Madrid-Malaga! What a journey. Miles of mountains, citrus trees and olive groves. Spanish villages perched on the hillsides. Everything a dusty orange and yellow, including the houses. And then, arrival in the delightful south of Spain!

Day 2, short hop to Madrid. It’s possible to go all the way from Barcelona to Malaga in one day (without changing trains!) but one of the joys of getting somewhere by train is the places you pass along the way.

Day 1 was a morning Eurostar to Paris, an hour’s stroll along the Canal Saint-Martin from Gare du Nord to Gare de Lyon, then TGV all the way to Barcelona.
The journey is as epic as you might think, all the way from the plains of northern France to the mountainous south, and the sparkling Med.

A year of veganism can save ~1 tonne of CO2. A single long-haul flight can emit 2-5 tonnes, wiping out those savings instantly.
For frequent flyers, going flight-free is a powerful climate action. #Vegan #ClimateChange

Politicians and airlines will tell you that airport expansion is good for the economy. But is it?
Airports take more money out of the UK than they bring in.
