A thread about individual change vs system change https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">

Yes, we desperately need government to make the changes which will radically reduce our emissions. But we& #39;ve been waiting for that for years. While we& #39;re still waiting, we can reduce our own emissions: https://flightfree.co.uk/post/isnt-it-up-to-the-government/">https://flightfree.co.uk/post/isnt...

And it& #39;s not just about reducing our own emissions, it is about changing the narrative. We explore this with @steviedubyu in our podcast: how and why are humans influenced by each other, and how can we influence social change with our choices? https://flightfree.co.uk/post/podcast-episode-7-behaviour-change/">https://flightfree.co.uk/post/podc...

We have a lot of power as consumers. Our buying habits can influence the industry: if we continue to fly, we are saying flights are OK, as well as giving airlines our hard-earned cash. Buying a rail ticket instead is an investment in a low-carbon future. https://flightfree.co.uk/post/individual-action-vs-system-change/">https://flightfree.co.uk/post/indi...

It& #39;s easy to think our individual actions don& #39;t make a difference, but we must not forget our ripple effect. Our influence goes wider than our own actions, changing the narrative amongst our peers, our friends, our colleagues and our families. https://flightfree.co.uk/post/can-i-really-make-a-difference/">https://flightfree.co.uk/post/can-...

It& #39;s never one or the other – it& #39;s always both. We need system change so it& #39;s easier for people to make low-carbon choices, but we can demand and inspire that with our individual actions. "Not flying isn& #39;t only about reducing emissions, it& #39;s about creating social change."
