"A secret “reasonable worst-case scenario” was drawn up, anticipating that several reservoirs’ water stocks could fall to 0 per cent — dubbed “day zero” — within weeks. Officials warned that without action, supplies to some homes could be affected" www.thetimes.com/article/7812...

Preparing for the worst is smart, but we must also act. 3C will be devastating for our planet, now is the time to take action.

Planning for 3°C doesn't make it survivable - but it makes it seem so As Ben Shread-Hewitt and I explain in this recent article...

Germany inspiration 🇩🇪

It's not just about location... we don't need it! ✈️❌

Great British Rail could modernize ticketing - if we keep it fair. Simpler tickets, more choice. But will one system mean less competition? What do you think? One place for everything or keep our options open?

That's a win in our book. We're all for making the greener choice the more convenient choice.

Cardiff Cross rail is officially underway. More seats, better connections, easier journeys - exactly the kind of infrastructure that makes staying on the ground the smarter choice. Investing in trains reduces the need for runways. That's the future we want 🚂

Yet again #BBC's Today programme gives a platform for #Heathrow's CEO to argue for expansion unchallenged. Today he threatened his investors would take their money elsewhere. If it doesn't expand we won't need their money. And our construction jobs can be used to build much needed homes instead.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ScotRail recorded 48.4 million passenger journeys between April and September 2026, up seven per cent year on year. Growth was driven by major events, the removal of peak fares and discounted family travel offers. www.scotrail.co.uk/about-scotra...

France inspiration 🇫🇷

Bill Gates funded research into blocking out the sun, now he says contrails are 'just clouds' Meanwhile he still flies privately, pays to offset it and he wants you to fly the long way around, pay more and just move the problem What a perfect loop of nonsense. It's not difficult. Stay grounded.

Karl Bushby just finished walking 36,000 miles from Chile back to Hull. If you've ever needed proof that you don't need a plane to get across the planet, Karl just spent three decades proving it. Talk about the ultimate #SlowTravel champion!

Coal miners had the sense to take urgent action when their birds died They knew that an environment that couldn't support birds ultimately couldn't support them either

Why must airlines buy our love of sport? ⚽ It's all about financial gain and our planet pays the price. 💔 Join our friends at @badvertising.bsky.social saying no go selling our passion to polluters. Sport shouldn't be a marketing tool for fossil fuels.

'Taking action today is essential to protect ecosystems, human health, and the future of the planet.' Not flying and staying on the ground is one of the most effective things YOU can do personally to make a difference. Your choices matter. ✈️❌

What we choose today shapes the world that our children inherit tomorrow. Every journey we take on the ground instead of in the sky is one small choice that adds up. Stay grounded - it really does matter ✈️❌

Yesterday, we finally tried Twiliner, the first bus operator in Europe equipped with fully lie flat seats 💺 -> 🛏️ I traveled from Zurich 🇨🇭 to Girona 🇪🇸, and even though I would LOVE a night train on this route, the Twiliner approach is very interesting and works well.

They've been celebrating 10 years of CORSIA but emissions are still high. It's a nice idea, but here's a wild idea: Stay on the ground. 🤷 No fancy tech needed, no waiting for years for countries to join. It just works. ✈️❌ #FlightFree #CORSIA

Don't get left in the dark... This is your reminder that once we know the truth, we can't unsee it. 9 out of 10 people want to act when they understand what is at stake. Choosing to travel differently is one simple, powerful way to show up. You don't need to fly to see the world. 🌎💚

The charming market town of Lewes sits deep in the heart of the picturesque county of East Sussex and is a perfect location for a historical day trip. Immerse yourself in a slice of old England and wend your way through ancient lanes among stunning architecture #VisitEngland buff.ly/0GMhqYN

Technology that promises to fix things without us changing how we live. Seductive and so dangerous. Tech has a vital role in a changing world, but it won't save us from the choices that we continue to make.

People ARE worried - but will it change how we travel? Here's the thing: staying grounded is one of the most powerful things we can actually do. Worry is a start. Action matters more. 🌎💚

Wow!! Those views 😍

Some fabulous travel inspiration close to home from @rjontouruk.bsky.social 👇

An important and interesting angle - any increase brings increased risk. 22 years worth of data highlights shows near misses are rising. So why add more planes over a densely populated London? It's a risk we do not need. ✈️❌

Helsinki named the global #1 most sustainable travel sport - for the third year running 🏆 If the destination leads the way, shouldn't our journey match it? Reachable from the UK by rail and by sea. 🚂⚓

Europe is doing it right - Isn't this just fabulous!? 40,000 young people born in 2008 can apply for a FREE travel pass to explore Europe sustainably. 🚂 Sadly, the UK is not included this time, fingers crossed we can take part in the future 🤞
