5. Frequent Flying

5. Frequent Flying

Do you worry about the environmental impact of flying like I do?

To fly or not to fly? I'm not asking it to try to shame anyone, I really want to know, why do you fly?

I've spent much of the past 2 years working on taking action from a place of joy and abundance, and I can see the possibility for that in flying less (or not at all). For example, I usually flew during the summers of 2008 to 2020 from the UK to see family in the US and I now love not flying because it means I get to tend my garden (and look after my pea babies, who I adore). But the thought of never flying to see family, or potentially flying only every three years as advised in by some environmental initiatives, feels more restrictive than joyful.

In this episode, I share my recent musing on "the most climate-destructive individual activity" as Greta aptly calls it, in her edited collection The Climate Book.



I'd love to hear about your own thoughts on flying, if you want to share email me at ellsworthkrebs@gmail.com
