Yes, indeed, what solutions do you have?
We are a global community. The world relies heavily on flying - not just for pleasure, but for business, for bringing in and taking out food stuffs, for bringing in and taking out medicines, for transporting donor organs, to take aid to countries in need. On and on the list goes. So Telly do you still think flying needs to be stopped - what alternatives do you have in mind, especially when speed is of the essence?
Yes, we do need to be aware of our footprint and our use of plastics and other pollutants and do what we can to reduce them and where possible, find alternatives. We do need to consider whether that car journey is really necessary, or could we take the bus/walk. We do need to try to reuse, repair, recycle as much as we possibly can. However, there really are circumstances when such things as flying are an absolute necessity. I think what needs serious consideration and action is finding cost effective ways of using permanent alternatives to oil - but of course the oil industry is such huge business that it's not going to happen, I fear.
