Community for those focused on sustainable travel. Our society's current levels of energy intensive and frequent travel are not compatible with life on a finite planet. We advocate for long-term slow travel to see the world, and low energy local travel to deeply experience your community. Green washing free zone.

so many unwrinkled brains around. i gave up on advocating for this: most of the time i am just met with deaf ears. 13€ from Netherlands to Italy: thats how facking subsidized that shit is

That sounds like a low end of reasonable price for a train ticket. I assume it’s a plane ticket though, at which point what in the actual hell that’s a subsidization level on par with driving in America

it is a plane ticket.but at least u earn a seat in a flying tube, and save alot on time travel. yea, a lot of taxpayer money is wasted in useless and polluting projects: nato funding, SLS launcher and other aerospace failing projects, bailing bankers and monopolies, so on and so forth..
