Five years of no flying
✈️ ❌ ➡️ 🚅 ✅
5 years ago, I realised that my #academic travels were emitting way too much #greenhouse #gas #GHG (up to 20 t #CO2 / yr) and hence that my #professional activity was not #sustainable. I thus decided to completely ban air #travel (#plane) and travel mainly by #train within #Europe.
5 years later (i.e. now), my professional travels' #carbonfootprint dropped by **a factor 50**, without impacting my #publication records (compared to 2017 - 2019).
I wrote a post for the #blog of @a4e about my experience. Check it out: astronomersforplanet.earth/fiv…

The “Global Warming of 1.5ºC” special report by the IPCC in 2018 acted as a shock in academia. Over the next few years, many initiatives, like A4E or Labos1point5, appeared in order to make research more sustainable.Volker Ossenkopf-Okada (astronomersforplanet.earth)

Das #GEG / #Heizungsgesetz soll weg
( Spahn)? Hersteller, Installationsbetriebe und Eigenheimbesitzer sehnen sich nach Planungssicherheit, #CDU #CSU aber werden Heizen mit #Gas und #Öl unbezahlbar machen!
Das GEG stammt von der Groko (mit #CDU), und sollte ursprünglich Verbraucher zahlen lassen.
