If one is concerned about anthropogenic climate change, one of the largest contributions to reducing anthropogenic Greenhouse Gas emissions is to never fly ... anywhere. The airline industry is one of the greatest contributors to GHG emissions, atmospheric pollution, and resource consumption.

The airport consists of more than just aircraft. It requires massive amounts of diesel-fueled mining, transportation, manufacture, maintenance and repair. It is impossible to power aircraft in any meaningful way with so-called renewable energy sources. It requires passengers to arrive in cars at the 24/7 energy consuming terminals. It produces millions of tons of wastes, plastics and unrecyclable materials every year.

My wife and I have not traveled by air since 2007, and never will.

Stay on the ground. We have no wings; we cannot fly.
