An EU report from 2017 showed that 85% of schemes were ineffective, and an investigation in 2023 showed that 90% of rainforest offsets were worthless. A tree doesn’t instantly absorb the carbon of your flight – it takes a lifetime for one tree to absorb an estimated tonne of CO2.

New research shows we could power the entire planet for a year if we put solar panels on the land currently used for biofuel. But if we used all that biofuel for aviation - we'd only fuel about 1/3 of flights. Biofuel isn't the fix. Reducing flying & consumption is.

Heard sustainability influencers saying we should ONLY care about system change? It's a lie. It might be comforting to think our individual choices don't matter & it's all down to industry and govt, but the truth is we need BOTH to change dramatically. It's not one or the other. #flightfree2026

On 1st August last year, 270,000 people passed through Heathrow, it's busiest day ever. And yet the government is still insisting on expanding. If there was ever proof that WE have to take matters into our own hands if we want things to change - this is it.

Proof that taxation works. If we want to steer away from climate collapse, we need MORE policies that reshape the aviation industry & stop the madness of infinite growth aerospaceglobalnews.com/news/ryanair...

Is flying really cheaper? We'll be answering this, and more of your pressing questions in our first online event of 2026! Join us on Thurs 5th Feb @ 6.30pm www.tickettailor.com/events/fligh...

“Taxing private jets is about the emissions, but it’s increasingly about justice. The rich elite are the ones who create the most pollution, yet we all suffer, and the poorest suffer the most because they’re least equipped to deal with the climate crisis.” www.bigissue.com/news/environ...

"Supersonic air travel is extremely energy-intensive... Concorde burned through 25 tonnes fuel per hour. What we really need to do is fly less." Our director Anna talks to Simon Calder on his podcast about the potential return of supersonic air travel 🎧 shows.acast.com/green-list-t...

Did you know that around 60-70% of flights we Brits take are for holidays (as opposed to business or for visiting family members)? This is good news, as these are the flights we can most easily swap for slower travel - and make the journey a part of the holiday itself.

Get yourself to Spain for some cheap rail travel 🚄 “When there are enough trains, operating at a competitive time and price, the comfort of the train is incomparable with flights.” Can we have some cheaper trains here too please? (Or jump on a Flixbus to Barcelona and enjoy a cheap holiday)

Supersonic air travel could be back on the agenda, which would be a terrible move for the climate. "The emissions generated from those Concorde flights all those years ago are still in the atmosphere today, still impacting our climate." open.substack.com/pub/flightfr...
