Welcome

Welcome

We are Earth scientists, academics, and members of the public who either don’t fly or who fly less.

We feel that global warming poses a clear, present, and dire danger for humanity. In an era of obvious climate change, we believe that it’s important to align our daily life choices with that reality. Actions speak louder than words.

We try to fly as little as possible while pushing for systemic change, especially through our home institutions. These are our stories – why we fly less, and what that means in a society that still rewards frequent flying.

Why the focus on academics? Academics are expected to attend conferences, workshops, and meetings. Many academics, including Earth scientists, have large climate footprints dominated by flying. Meanwhile, colleges and universities ostensibly exist to make a better future, especially for young people. We want our institutions to live up to that promise.

We’re experimenting…
