History will remember what you decide today. Show courage, and add the roadmap to phase out coal, oil and gas – over 80 countries back it! #COP30

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

Agreed!

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?

Those who commit to flying less can experience less turbulence and more sustainable travel options. It's a win-win decision!

🚨 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.

What is the carbon impact of the goods we buy?Reducing our impact means considering where our goods come from as well as where we go on holiday.We join Alex ... From Sail to Sale

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 💚🌎

Image of people's fists in the air. Text says: "Flight free for justice. Our high-carbon lifestyles are causing people around the world to suffer the devastating effects of the climate crisis"

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.

How 50 years of climate change has changed the face of the 'Blue Marble' from space The "Blue Marble" was the first photo of the whole Earth and the only ever taken by a human. Fifty years on, new images of the planet reveal visible changes to the Earth's surface.

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

Farewell ‘ElonJet’: The FAA just made it much more difficult to track private jets from the likes of Elon Musk and Taylor Swift

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

Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

🌏 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.

What about tourism? We know that air travel facilitates global tourism, and if we were to stop flying, communities who rely on our visits would suffer. But is that the full story?

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.

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

The UK is on an airport expansion spree (Gatwick, Heathrow, Bristol, Manston, Stansted, London City).

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
