Pledge to be Flight Free
Make your pledge to be Flight Free for the next 12 months and join a growing global movement now in Sweden, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Denmark and USA.
By way of introduction to the six issues we campaign on, Magdalena Heuwieser, co-founder of the anti-aviation campaign network Stay Grounded, discusses here seven strategies to reduce flying and build a just transport system.
Reform institution travel policies
Get your climate action group, community organisation, NGO, workplace or business on board endorsing the Flight Free pledge.
Foster alternatives to flights
Melbourne-Sydney and Sydney-Brisbane are two of the busiest flight paths in the world. Help get high speed rail on track.
End tax exemptions
Airplane fuel’s tax-free status could soon be grounded in Europe with the Commission recently calling for an end to kerosene’s exemption. Let’s do the same.
Stop airport expansions
On the back of expected passenger demand growth, new airports and expansions to existing airports, including new runways, are in the works for Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth.
Enable demand reduction policies
Personal carbon quotas that shrink each year and frequent flyer levies that increase as you take more flights are two regulatory approaches to passenger demand reduction.
