Gregory's ServerFive 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 @a4e about my experience. Check it out: https://astronomersforplanet.earth/five-years-of-no-flying/

@AlexSanterne @a4e @labos1point5 @LAM_Marseille @CNRS_INSU @academicchatter @astrophysics @StayGrounded_net I would love to take the train within Europe but it is so bad.
Like this trip to Vienna, yes you can take the train, but I opted out because of the bad reputation of DB.
As a female I can not risk to get stranded alone at a dark station…..
