"Being a travel editor who’s given up flying for the climate elicits a range of
responses: incredulity, cynicism, enthusiasm, awe, disgust — any and all are
possible depending on the demographic and worldview of the listener.
I’ve gotten used to the inevitable questions that come next since I first went
flight-free in 2019. “But, why?” “How do you do your job?” “Doesn’t your boss
mind?” And: “But really, why?” Yet I’ve also become bolder in sharing my
decision. Because, in response to that last query, my answer is simple: I
believe individual decisions can and do make a difference.
Of course, the myriad reasons behind any massive lifestyle change are a bit
more complicated. For me, the seeds of the idea were sown slowly, seductively,
and their leaves unfurled so gently that I didn’t even realize they were there
until what seemed to be an entire tree growing in my brain."
