Would You Take A Year Off From Flying Anywhere

[emmie]

these ladies have persuaded 10,000 people so far, apparently, to not fly for 2019, this is to do with climate change.

I never fly anyway, so it's not a problem for me! em you can see the Northern Lights from parts of Scotland.

[emmie]

i know but i am not remotely mobile these days, which is a great pity, would love to fly somewhere and see the Aurora Borealis, but that is just a pipe dream.

I've not flown for two years, mark me down as in credit.

[emmie]

bet your carbon footprint is still high, seeing as how one has to get too and fro to work, shops, buy stuff, go out, etc. Buying goods from abroad, all have their price...

[woofgang]

yes probably most people's carbon footprint is too high.....but if you do all those things you mention AND fly then its going to be higher.
