\"Interview<\/a>“If we\u2019re going to fly, it should be for truly extraordinary and important reasons. Otherwise, we shouldn\u2019t go or should take a slower form of travel and arrange for a longer visit; thinking through pros and cons of flying engenders a very different attitude<\/a> towards travel, time, emissions and moral responsibility.”<\/p>\n

“Each individual is the interpreter of the millions of interactions that make us what we are\u2014in that sense we all have the potential to offer a unique set of insights that may drive change. Small, ostensibly individual acts can attract support and translate into larger and potentially system-level change.”<\/p>\n

Quotes from a\u00a0FlyingLess<\/em><\/strong> interview with\u00a0Kevin Anderson<\/strong>, Professor of Energy and Climate Change in the School of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Civil Engineering at the University of Manchester (United Kingdom).<\/p>\n
