We have /c/fuckcars but no /c/fuckplanes. Yet a lot of the same arguments apply. They cause air pollution (roughly double the amount per km traveled), noise pollution and they (airports) take up a lot of space near dense living areas. Sure, some places can practically only be visited by plane, just like some places can practically only be visited by car. But people don’t consider not having your holiday that far away or giving pushback on a busines trip that should have been an online meeting. Besides work-from-home being encouraged, work-from-home-country should be too.
Cars need to be discouraged in favor of busses, trams and trains. Planes nees to be discouraged in favor of high-speed trains, staycations and hopefully new alternatives like modern sailboats or electric planes.
the biggest polluters are the wealthy, and you can’t really marginalize them, when everyone wants to be them.
the poor have the least ecological footprint. everyone being locked indoors for covid was amazing for the environment.
but nobody wants to be poor and live like they did during covid, they HATE that. They are desperate to do the opposite.
