Why I only take one holiday flight a year

There is no longer any doubt that we need to reduce the number of flights we take to help tackle climate change – and make any trip we do go on countIn the Netherlands they say vliegschaamte; the Swedes say flygskam; and the Germans Flugscham. The words all mean “fly shame”, or the guilt that travellers experience when they fly off somewhere knowing they are contributing to climate change.In contrast, the British have little or no flight shame. We take 70 million flights a year
