Five years of no flying

✈️ ❌ ➡️ 🚅 ✅

5 years ago, I realised that my #academic travels were emitting way too much #greenhouse #gas #GHG (up to 20 t #CO2 / yr) and hence that my #professional activity was not #sustainable. I thus decided to completely ban air #travel (#plane) and travel mainly by #train within #Europe.

5 years later (i.e. now), my professional travels' #carbonfootprint dropped by **a factor 50**, without impacting my #publication records (compared to 2017 - 2019).

I wrote a post for the #blog of nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqje6qfvqd6ptf8m4vphxtc3zhf06gqdurlefpzf2q8v47964ust7sgd0fm0 about my experience. Check it out: https://astronomersforplanet.earth/five-years-of-no-flying/

Great work !

Here's a great app to easily check personal emissions.

I've achieved 2.4t/year
