We don't fly often (one flight a year tops, mostly to Europe) but reducing my air travel is one of the few differences I can make towards climate change.

And yet, I'm celebrating a big birthday this year. I had an idea to take myself to a retreat quite far away, and now it's 'booking' time, I can't quite bring myself to do it. Especially in light of Australia's tragedy. I'm really torn.

How many of you are making serious sacrifices in this area?

I will still fly from time to time as there are places I really want to see. But not every year which I think is too much.

Flying isn't a nasty, sinister thing, it's an unimaginable human achievement and by reading this forum, reminds how essential it is to experience the world outside the stifling confines of a victoriana semi in Surrey. I love aviation, love engineering and especially love travelling. Except when they send me to China. Ugh.
