Duurzaam reizen, kan dat?

Anno 2019 is de opwarming van de aarde een steeds grote issue aan het worden.

Ik eet minder vlees, ik scheid mijn afval en probeer zowaar elders mijn bijdrage te leveren aan een beter klimaat. Echter, ik blijf wel reizen en dit is niet bepaald bevorderend. Vliegen is nog steeds hartstikke milieubelastend, maar het is wel nodig als ik de wereld wil

Flygskam - ofwel Vliegschaamte

Mensen beseffen steeds beter hoe slecht vliegen is voor het milieu en schamen zich collectief voor hun eigen aandeel in de kerosineconsumptie en zoeken naar alternatieven, zoals reizen per trein. Flygskam dus, deze vanuit het meestal behoorlijk milieubewuste Zweden overgewaaide trend; in lelijk Nederlands vertaald als vliegschaamte. Kiest heel reizend Nederland inmiddels al voor andere middelen van vervoer en
