It's HorriFLYING! Jennifer's nightmare is nothing compared to the nightmare that awaits all of us if we don't start making smarter choices! #PassengerPower #FlyBetter #PlaneTalking #CuttingEmissions

It is easy to feel like your individual choices and actions don't matter, but they do. We all need to fly less and fly better. #PassengerPower #FlyBetter #PlaneTalking #CuttingEmissions

Bumprints is on a mission to get this conversation started. Luckily, we are not alone! Come along to get inspired and empowered. thetourismreset.com/programs/liv...

SAF sounds great until you look at the scale needed. Aviation demand grows, fuel supply doesn’t magically keep up. We’re betting heavily on fuels that currently exist in tiny quantities. Bold strategy. #ClimateAction www.greenairnews.com?p=8597

There's a new report out, with a clear message: Aviation emissions will not decrease by 2050, unless passenger traffic is reduced. #PassengerPower #FlyBetter #TravelLikeItMatters

We tax electricity. We tax gas. We tax train tickets. Jet fuel though? Not really. The climate incentives are… interesting. #FlightFree
#ClimateCrisis

Many of the most polluting flights take off or land in the USA, while more efficient flights are common in countries like Spain, Brazil, and India. What can we learn from the countries that are flying better? Take a look, it's really pretty simple... #PlaneTalking #FlyBetter #TravelLikeItMatters

Funny how we still talk about the climate crisis like a future scenario when it’s already shaping food, travel, insurance and infrastructure today. The briefing sounds long overdue.

Climate change means we will all need to change, and the sooner we start changing our flying habits, the better. We know change is hard, but Bumprints is here to help with simple tools and easy-to-understand explanations, all available on our website! #PassengerPower #FlyBetter

In this new series, 'What's the Carbon Bumprint of...', #Bumprints will try to connect the dots between real people's questionable decisions and the climate consequences. #TravelLikeItMatters #FlyBetter #PlaneTalking Source: liveandletsfly.com/bison-meatlo...

What are your main considerations before booking a flight? 💰⏰💺 Do you ever look at the emissions data? ☁︎☁︎✈️ Larry & Lisa, the #Bumprints Binge Flyers, usually just book the cheapest tickets, but today something else has grabbed Lisa's attention... #FlyBetter #BookBetter #PassengerPower

Yeyan Shi, one of our brave and brilliant volunteers, took an inventory of her flying activity in 2025. She found the process extremely conflicting and then took the time to share her reflections with us all. 💚🌟 #HowBigIsYourBumprint #MyFlightCount2025 #FlyBetter

ya, if you're smart enough to understand it.

It's time to start connecting the dots...

Flying creates around 2,500,000 tonnes of carbon emissions every single day. That's equivalent to about 625,000 elephants worth of emissions. There are only 450,000 elephants left in the world today.

France issues red flood alerts after ‘exceptional’ rainfall Climate experts "have been warning us for a long time that events like this will happen more often - in fact, tomorrow has arrived”, says minister #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

What's the real cost of your sporting passion?

If owning a pet already has a significant impact on the planet, what about flying your pet around the world on a private jet service designed for dogs? Don't get us wrong, we love animals here at Bumprints, but are deeply worried about the animals being impacted by the climate crisis!

Yes, of course, this was greenwashing, and the judge agreed. 🌟 To the airline’s credit, its messaging is much more honest these days. 🌟 The first sentence on their sustainability page now clearly states, ‘Air travel is currently not sustainable.’ #AirlineGreenwashing #PlaneTalking #FlyBetter

The future of the Winter Olympics is uncertain in our warming climate. If audience travel is 44% of the emissions, could the tickets go to local spectators, and maybe the rest of us just watch them on TV? #ProtectOurWinters #PlaneTalking #WinterOlympics2026 #ClimateChange #TravelResponsibly

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.

Lisa, half of our Binge Flying couple, loves to travel, but she has absolutely no concept of her 'carbon budget'. How many trees would you need to plant to offset your flights from last year? 🌳 A baby sapling will absorb 6 kg of CO2 in its first year, growing to 22 kg per year when it matures.

Watch Captain Katie's eye-opening discussion at Minneapolis Climate Week, and learn about: ✈️ The real climate cost of air travel. 📈 Why aviation emissions are still rapidly rising. 💪 Why Passenger Power is an overlooked solution. #PassengerPower #MinneapolisClimateWeek youtu.be/m5WR2kkAq-I?...

🔈 Let’s debunk common climate myths! Myth #1 : “A couple of degrees of warming is not that big of a deal.” Fact: Actually, small temperature rises can throw the world’s delicate ecosystems into disarray, with dire implications for humans and other living things. More: www.unep.org/topics/clima...

Don't get me started about airline loyalty programmes 🤯. Let's reward the biggest polluters by letting them pollute more, for free! But look here, this is a great way to put those polluter points to good use! 👏

Fossil fuel firms may have to pay for climate damage under proposed UN tax rules - Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation could also force ultra-rich to pay global wealth tax #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Is '100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel' 100% sustainable? Don't be silly, the emissions coming out of the engines are the same as with traditional fossil-based jet fuel? Learn more about 'SAF' and why even its name is greenwashing at Bumprints.org #PlaneTalking #AirlineGreenwashing #FlyBetter

"Climate change has always been something I worried about but for some reason I didn't make the connection to flying. Now that I know how bad it really is I've decided to take the challenge so I can positively impact the climate in a way that aligns with my values." ~ Chantelle

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

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.

One of our followers recently asked Bumprints for advice on which flight booking sites were accurate and trustworthy when searching for the lowest-carbon flights. This is what we recommended... If you have questions, we have answers! Bumprints.org #AskUsAnything #PlaneTalking #FlightBooking

Two things to learn from this. 1. The rightwing newspapers are lobby groups whose purpose is to advance the class interest of their proprietors. 2. Lobbyists for the rich and powerful lose their jobs if they are not prepared to lie. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

Avoiding contrails on night and winter flights is aviation’s fastest climate win - new study by @transportenvironment.org www.transportenvironment.org/articles/avo...

“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...

No Silver Bullet - Part 1 A new study has confirmed what we already knew at Bumprints, that by following our 'Passenger Action Checklist', your emissions could be reduced by 50%. Bumprints.org #PassengerPower #PlaneTalking #PassengerActionChecklist

Bill Gates charity trust’s holdings in fossil fuel firms rise despite divestment claims - Trust had $254m invested in companies such as Chevron, BP and Shell in 2024, a nine-year record, analysis shows #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"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...

It is the source of so many of our evils: the astonishing concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few, and the immense political power that gives them. We cannot solve our problems until we tackle it. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

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...
