No one has to fly. Luckily 7 billion people don’t, or the ecological and climate mess would be even worse. Flying is the new climate denial. Know it’s bad and do it anyway, impactoary denial.

A good first step would be recognising the difference between needs and wants

An estimated 11,000 die from exhaust pollution and 20,000 hospitilisaed from cars now , that’s ignoring 1000’s of direct deaths and injuries.

I doubt most people really give a shit about micro plastics from tyres and participates from brakes, they’d ratier 10s of thousands die then ride a bicycle and catch a train.

>Traffic pollution likely causes more than 11,000 premature deaths in Australia a year, new modelling by climate researchers has revealed

>The grave estimate from the study means that death from air pollution in Australia is 10 times more likely than a fatal road accident.
