Does flying less actually help tackle climate change?

If you’ve ever questioned whether you can actually make any difference in tackling climate change, I’m hoping this video will help. And more specifically I address whether flying less actually makes any difference.

A few years ago I quit flying for holidays and since then whenever I go away I travel by land or sea, mainly by train or ferry. I’m hoping that by showing how much more of an adventure it is to take the train rather than flying will inspire others to travel this way.

If you’re interested in learning more about sustainable travel and seeing what a flight-free holiday looks like I will be uploading more videos in the future which explore both.

For now though I hope you enjoy this video and see you soon!

*when I talk about political action here I mean changes made by governments and businesses. I know that political action can be personal but here I use systemic and political interchangeably.
