“The pandemic is not the way we expected to reduce air travel,” Granett, co-founder of Flight Free USA, said in an email, “but I think there’s a lot to learn. “
According to a report by the International Air Transport Association, the number of air travelers in 2020 is expected to fall by more than 60% to 1. 8 billion, or about the same number of other people who flew in 2003. Next year, the organization expects that number to build up to 2. 8 billion, much less than the 4. 5 billion that flew in 2019. Airlines cut roads and fired workers, and some have ceased operations.
Those advocating for a lifetime flight have been anchored, in some cases for years, through choice, and in a year when many others have been forced to stay in place because of the new coronavirus, the leaders of the flyless movement expect people, businesses and establishments to reconsider their habit after the pandemic and treat climate replacement as an emergency.
“Regardless of the pandemic, climate change is like the elephant in the room,” Granett, an architect who stopped flying two years ago, said in an interview. “It’s huge and we’re towards this cliff, to this point of no return. “This gives the impression that the pandemic is a little test. “
Magdalena Heuwieser, one of the founders of the Viennese network Stay Grounded, which advocates for relief in aviation, said she hopes to see a new image reflected in business in the future.
“Companies have just learned that it is less expensive to hold online meetingsArray . . . employees have learned that it’s less stressful,” he said. ” It’s something I don’t think will possibly go back to the previous levels. “
Climate scientist Peter Kalmus, founder of the website NoFlyClimateSci, said that in the afterlife he had suggested to the American Geophysical Union that he hold its great fall assembly at least in virtual degree.
“It is now an absolutely virtual assembly through force,” he said, and believes there is a chance of doing the same in the future, including a hybrid with regional equipment assembly in users and others that join remotely.
While the airlines most affected continue to seek government help after receiving billions of dollars in aid before the pandemic, Heuwieser warned that bailouts will be carried out smoothly due to climate change.
“We are involved in this going back to pollutants as usual if structural adjustments are not imposed now, if we do not use this rescue cash instead of stimulus packages to fund the fundamental source of living wage income for staff who lose their tasks, social protection, retraining programs, job creation in the climate sectors, and promoting opportunities for theft” Heuwieser said, which was founded in Germany.
He said governments invest in better, more comfortable and more exciting rail services, for example.
Once the pandemic is over, the flyless net expects trains and another slower bureaucracy to attract those eager to go out and explore again.
“It’s not the optimal scenario to fly less,” said Kalmus, who lives in Southern California and hasn’t flown since 2012. “I hope we can fly less in a more cheerful way than this because we can travel. as a group. It’s stealing less than all the other things that make our lives so difficult. “
