#nofly — Public Fediverse posts

@marjon I’ve tried being passive, not performing the Oh Lovely! reaction when someone says they’ve booked a flight to their newest city break. Lately, like yourself, seeing how badly it's going, I’ve tried working into the conversation that I only fly when it's to family on islands, and then only on whatever leg of the trip requires a plane. I mention that I’d love to do #NoFly, but for family reasons, I can only do #NoFrivolousFly until I have time for long, multi-leg train trips across seas.

Listening to #OrenAmbarchi Ghosted albums to get me through the last few hours of a 30+ hour bus trip to Portugal.

Edit:
Adding the Hubris album since not all Ghosted songs are available on #bandcamp

Edit2: let's make it a list, since we're not there, yet.

#NowPlaying
#NoFly

I’m on my way to the #MPDEE #conference in #Leicester now, going by #train, 6 trains in total, first 3 trains with #DB. First train was on time, but packed with drunken people. First beer already spilled. Wish me luck…

#NoFly

I haven't flown anywhere in over five years. Ryanair just emailed deleting my account for inactivity #nofly

For every hour that we fly in economy class, we steal a day from the life of a future person. http://www.parncutt.org/lifetimetheft.html #ClimateEmergency #1000tonnerule #nofly

I've set off to Bougainville,PNG, for another #NoFly journey. I want to complete my research there. Travelling the ~25,000km distance from Italy by🚢,🚅,&🚌,I'll emit ~10 times less than✈️ (computations to come).Here the long read on my motivations: https://gianlu777.substack.com/p/why-i-will-not-give-up-my-slow-travel?r=3bfowj 1/🧵

Off on holiday. Apart from the necessary taxi to the train station, it's trains all the way.

#BetterByTrain #nofly

@DanielLuecking Wenn die #quatar Airline nicht jetzt schon auf meiner #nofly Liste ständen, hätten sie sich damit einen Platz gesichert.
Die ach so christlichen #cducsu waren für mich noch nie wählbar, zu keinem Zeitpunkt.
Die #SPD ist auf dem besten Weg, die 5 % Hürde verdient zu unterschreiben.
Um #fckafd Politik zu bekommen, werden die, die das wirklich wollen, das Original wählen, die bedanken sich höchstens bei der aktuellen Regierung für die Umsetzung ihrer menschenverachtenden Politik.

Truly an immense joy to see for the first time my book read by people willing to hear stories from my #NoFly travel.
🙏@emacampiglio & @MariaBigoni for the dialogue on how to trigger social tipping points from individuals & institutions @DSE_Unibo.
In Genoa today 11/6 h18.00
📍Librificio del Borgo, Genova, Via Borgo degli Incrociati 22r

New job, new film, new book...Merci Olivier Monod @libe Liberation for summarising my 2025 so far!
Indeed I accepted a job offer @ Masaryk University in Czechia. They have a programme on regional peripheries that seems perfect to continue my research on the effects of climate change & market integration on indigenous communities in Papua New Guinea (PNG) (among my other research on social cohesion).

The film "The Researcher" by @produzionifuorifuoco has already been screened in 13 different countries around the world and recently won the award for "Best Educational Pathway Film" @ International Frome Climate Film Festival.

Finally, my book "A fuoco" (Zooming in) has just been published by @feltrinelli_. It’s the diary of my 28,000 km #NoFly journey from PNG to Europe to reduce my carbon footprint.

Many people ask me if losing my job was "worthwhile". These outcomes would make one feel that it was. But, honestly, I would have done the same even if no one had talked about my story and I hadn't "achieved" anything. For me, the important thing was to remain true to my "climate conscience". I couldn't have done otherwise.

@cycling_on_rails especially for the Kamminken one, but what won't do for some #nofly #slowtravel ? 😃

Any ideas how to get from the #Berlin area to #Riga, Latvia, without taking a #plane?

I couldn't find a #train connection, and the busses I found take nearly 24 hours. I'm happy to #SlowTravel, including overnight stopovers, but I do need a proper bed / sleeper train at night.

I'm considering driving by car, but maybe there is a #PublicTransport connection that I missed?

The film tells the story of my 42,000km #NoFly trip to and from Papua New Guinea for which I lost my job, because I disobeyed the orders of my employer to take a plane to return to Europe. Watch the trailer here: https://www.produzionifuorifuoco.it/ricercatore.html

I'll only start in January b/c I want to complete fieldwork in Papua this year. I suffered some delays, but I am determined to travel #NoFly and stay in Bougainville ~4 months in the remainder of this year. 2/
