Hey academic friends, just a reminder: If you're planning conference flights and you can replace *any segment* with a train or bus, it's way better for your emissions than a year of light switch flipping or thermostat adjusting. www.sierraclub.org/sierra/2023-...

Planes, Trains, and Decarbonization

Is a future without air travel possible?

Or push for hybrid attendance and participate via zoom. No flying necessary

Thanks for this. I got invited to give a talk in Tasmania & I’m having a hard time justifying the travel with whatever it is I would say or do (although I do love wombats!). These are hard questions even for those of us who know individual decisions matter less than structural transformation.

Direct flights are also way better than multiple hops, since landing and taking off produces the most emissions. climateactionaccelerator.org/solutions/di....
