I no longer fly. I never flew very much but I took a ‘no fly’ vow last autumn when I joined Extinction Rebellion. The first time I was asked whether I’d be attending a Congress abroad, necessitating flight, the liberation in simply saying ‘I no longer fly’ was quite delightful.

If I should decide to travel long distance, I now have the pleasure of slowly acclimatising myself to the environment. I am no longer subjected to being treated like a potential threat to my world via customs, etc. Life becomes slower, decision-making easier.
