The future of the Winter Olympics is uncertain in our warming climate. If audience travel is 44% of the emissions, could the tickets go to local spectators, and maybe the rest of us just watch them on TV?

Lisa, half of our Binge Flying couple, loves to travel, but she has absolutely no concept of her 'carbon budget'.

How many trees would you need to plant to offset your flights from last year?

🌳 A baby sapling will absorb 6 kg of CO2 in its first year, growing to 22 kg per year when it matures.

One of our followers recently asked Bumprints for advice on which flight booking sites were accurate and trustworthy when searching for the lowest-carbon flights. This is what we recommended...

'Coolcation', a play on the words cool + vacation, made the Collins Dictionary's 'Word of the Year' shortlist in 2025.

Some airlines are now actively marketing 'coolcations'. ✈️
Can you see the problem here?

Have the places you usually visit started to feel a little bit too hot? ☀️
If so, you are not alone.

As adults, we try to live within our means. This includes our sleep, food, and finances. But what about our carbon budget?

When planning a trip, does your carbon budget cross your mind? Flying is probably the most carbon-intensive thing you do.

Bummer. Flying is not 'green,' no matter what the airlines say. There’s no technology today that can make flying pollution-free. Learn to spot the BS by playing our Airline Greenwashing Bingo! (Side effects may include eye-rolling).

There is new research out that reinforces exactly what we have been saying, and what the airlines are ignoring. There are obvious solutions available that could prevent panicked government decision-making and help to preserve our freedom to fly when it is important and necessary.

The concept is simple:
We need to put as many people as possible onto the newest, most fuel-efficient aircraft, and operate those aircraft in the most environmentally efficient way.
However, most airlines are doubling down on their luxury offerings... 🤯

It’s that time of the year when many of us take a look at our lifestyles and try to do things a little better. Larry and Lisa, our ‘Binge Flyers’, are discussing what changes they could make to contribute to a healthier planet.

All the suggested changes are important and meaningful, but combined, the carbon savings of all of these are cancelled out if you fly more than a couple of times a year.

At Bumprints, our message is simple: Passengers have the power to drive real change in aviation.
Thanks, BBC Travel, for helping passengers make the connection between flying and climate change.

Larry & Lisa's annual quest for winter sun is becoming harder to plan.
At Bumprints, we love our diving trips, wine tasting, and safaris too, but unlike Larry & Lisa, we have made the connection between our holidays and the climate crisis. We hope they do soon, too.
