This is of course heading in the opposite direction of what a habitable planet requires, which is that we all fly on jets a whole lot less frequently. @flightfreeusa.bsky.social

Considering the role of aviation in the climate crisis, especially from frequent flyers, it might feel like pretty fair 'karma' from the planet? I don't wish anyone injuries but I do wish for much less flying! What do you think @flightfreeuk.bsky.social and @flightfreeusa.bsky.social?

🚨 Private jets = pinnacle of climate injustice In 2023, they caused more emissions than all flights from Heathrow. And the US has particularly dirty hands: Florida & Texas alone outpolluted the entire EU 💀 We need to #BanPrivateJets now. Taxing them is the bare minimum.

A new coalition has just launched to work towards raising climate finance from premium flyers (first and business class tickets, and private jets). The coalition includes France, Kenya, Barbados, Spain, Somalia, Benin, Sierra Leone and Antigua & Barbuda. @staygroundednet.bsky.social

In 2019, 57.6 million tonnes of freight was flown around the world. Cutting down on flights also means cutting down on air-freighted goods. Watch the inspiring story of New Dawn Traders, a freight company that ships cargo by sail, rather than air ⛵

How about instead of 'dimming the sun' we all chip in to ✨drastically reduce our carbon emissions✨? Cutting out flying makes a massive dent - so why not start there? And we're here to help! Visit flightfree.co.uk for tips on how to quit flying but not quit travelling 💚🌎

Why quit flying? We do it for justice. We should not wait until the climate crisis feels 'closer to home' in order to make lifestyle changes. People's lives are devastated NOW because of our high-carbon lifestyles. Sign up to the Flight-Free Challenge today: flightfree.co.uk

We don't need to journey into space to know that global warming is REAL. But 50 years on from 'Blue Marble', this is it's effects: The Antarctic ice sheet is shrinking. The Sahara is growing. The rainforest is retreating south. And deforestation is immense. We must act - go #FlightFree today

Aviation regulators make it harder to track private jets—just when we need more accountability, not less. Billionaires like Musk & Swift fly above us, fueling climate breakdown while dodging scrutiny. We cannot let the ultra-rich hide. #BanPrivateJets fortune.com/2025/04/01/f...

🌏 89% of people worldwide believe their governments should do more to combat global warming. Yet, many feel alone in this belief. Breaking this 'spiral of silence' could be the key to unlocking collective climate action. https://tinyurl.com/ye2x8n5d

Cheap flights encourage 'unthinking' tourism: in-and-out travel that damages the environment and harms communities. Monuments crumble from the constant passage of hands and feet, places are left strewn with rubbish, and residents are forced out in favour of tourists. Is this really what we want?

Did you know? Building a third runway at Heathrow would involve demolishing 700+ homes (including an entire village), concreting over the Colne Valley, re-routing rivers & putting the M25 in a tunnel. Stop expanding airports! Sign the petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

These ferries speed commutes and cut pollution — and they fly.. #ev #ElectricVehicles www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solu...

The UK just approved the expansion of Luton Airport — a reckless decision that flies in the face of climate science, public health, and global justice. This is not “green growth”. It’s greenwashing on a runway. Read our press release: stay-grounded.org/luton-airpor... 1/3

More flights = more emissions = more climate breakdown. We know the only way to reduce aviation emissions is to reduce air traffic. And yet, Luton is just one of many UK airports set to expand. 2/3

The only real solution is fewer flights. No new runways. No more expansion. We must draw the line — for climate justice, public health and a liveable future #RedLinesForAirports 3/3

Africa’s largest airport is being built on stolen land.. Backed by African Development Bank, the £7.8 billion mega-airport is branded “sustainable” — but it’s built on displacement, destruction, and climate injustice. Read the full article: antiaero.org/2025/02/18/meg

Support frontline communities and climate justice. Say no to more mega-airports and airport expansion. #RedLinesForAirports #NoAirportExpansion

🚨 People power wins! Munich Airport is pulling out of the disastrous Vlora Airport project in Albania planned in a protected wetland, home to flamingos and migratory birds. This is a big step - now the Albanian Government must stop construction. www.merkur.de/lokales/erdi...

More flights = more noise, more air pollution and more emissions, at a time when we should be doing all we can to *reduce* emissions. Help us tell the government not to expand airports.

Help us get to 10,000 signatures so that our government is reminded that what we want is to STOP Airport Expansion. Sign here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Weird? Yes. Unnecessarily polluting and damaging to our planet whilst we're in the midst of a climate crisis? Also yes.

Yes, reducing emissions is a BIG reason why we challenge people to go flight-free for a year. But it's also about breaking your habits! Flying is often thought of as the default travel method, so by challenging yourself to stop flying you get the chance to discover other ways of travelling.

Just a reminder of what Keir Starmer once said 👇 We need to let him and all our politicians know that we don't want airport expansion! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Flying is a very dirty mode of travel. Here are some cleaner alternatives... flightfree.org/alternatives...
