i do not get this culture of flying comparably short distances. yes it might be more convenient or whatever but you're ruining the environment and a much more fun and sustainable option is staring you right in the face

#TAKE A BLOODY TRAIN #this is a probably a very european thing but like. there's literally a tunnel under the english channel for that purpose #it chucks you out after 2 hours in paris/brussels/amsterdam and instead of clouds you actually get to see countryside #and then you can take speedy trains to other places in europe #yes it takes more time than a plane but COME ON #we're so used to getting places fast that we've forgotten that for millenia getting anywhere took ages #enjoy yourself #have fun #explore a little in between connections #i get the use of planes if you're going from say the uk to japan bc that's a long distance #but if you're flying from bristol to berlin there's high quality train connections that can get you there instead #and they get cheaper if you book them early #4 trains. 4 trains and you're there #just...please consider using them #they're worth it i know they're scary but they're really worth it #and you're saving the planet each time you use them (and sticking it to oil companies too)#anyway this was vetty's rant about planes and trains #vetty talks
