Our year of no flying

From 2009-2010, we tried to get around the world aviation-free, while interviewing about sixty climate, environmental, and transportation activists in a dozen countries.

We blogged about the whole journey, and what we learned along the way. Taken together, these posts tell the story of a specific moment in global climate activism.
