I am a keen skier - I've skied since I was about 3. Very soon there won't be anywhere to ski. Taking a flight to a ski field just makes it worse.

I took up #skateboarding as a substitute because I love the feeling of moving my body at speed through space. The fact that I can do it for free multiple times a week within 15 minutes of my house instead of spending thousands on a family trip is a massive bonus. #ClimateEmegency #grief #flightShame

@annaf @pvonhellermannn while its correct to try to fly less,

I think of this graph of @tazgetroete

as long as you are not one of those people flying 3 times a day to see a concert or a football game, I dont feel like I have to put #FlightShame on you.

My guess is every person could have 2 flights per year (no right to sell those co2) and the world would be much better than it is now.

#ClimateDiary #Confession: And yes, we have been in #Florence for the last few days. My OH has was here for work for 4 weeks and yes, we flew over to join him; now driving back home altogether. It’s thrown me into a lot of turmoil - of course, i try not to fly anymore (and generally don’t) - with regard to #ClimateDiary, and how honest, personal, confessional it/I need to be.. in the end decided to raise this to be honest, but feel free to #FlightShame

I’m reading an article about #tourism from Europe to Thailand and other countries in the Pacific.
All I can think of what impact it has on everyone through #flight #co2 #emissions and how most of the article is about economics on the area.
IIRC one flight from #finland causes more emissions compared to one year of heating of a house. #FlightShame is not nearly widespread as it should.

My latest Youtube video discusses the term #flightshame and how many BIPOC attempting to reconnect to their culture are seen as the issue. My recent Youtube video discusses the flight industry.

I've seen this spelled as flygskam, too.
