About this Event
Love to travel but don’t love air travel’s carbon footprint? Curious how far you could travel by land and sea? Or itching for new adventures closer to home?
Flying is one of the most high-carbon ways of travelling. Reducing – or cutting out – flying can have a bigger impact on your personal carbon footprint than eating less meat, using renewable energy, and driving less.
But travelling flight-free doesn’t need to be a complicated chore. Opting for trains, ferries or bikes can turn your journey into an adventure filled with excitement, new experiences and unexpected treasures.
Whether you travel for business, pleasure, or both, join Our Planet Our Future as our two guest speakers share how you can satisfy your travel bug flight-free.
What to expect
Grab a friend and book your free space to join us at 7:30 pm on Tuesday the 11th of March at the Plough & Harrow in Harpenden.
Join speaker Anna Hughes of Flight Free UK as she explores the climate impact of aviation and shares inspiration and ideas for travelling without flying.
Our second speaker, James Blake of the Youth Hostels Association, will share how you can enjoy fulfilling and sustainable adventures closer to home. He’ll also discuss the broader challenge of running a national travel and hospitality charity and social enterprise in today’s uncertain world.
Each presentation will be followed by a discussion where you’ll have a chance to ask your burning flight-free travel questions and You’ll have the chance to discuss the topic with a group of friendly, like-minded people.
You’ll leave feeling inspired, ready to book a new (flight-free) trip.
