Why climate activists want to limit the number of times you can fly

Climate activists are calling for flight quotas to be introduced to reduce carbon emissions.

Social scientist and spokesperson for Flight Free Australia, Dr Helen Hutchinson, says the organisation urges people not to fly unless they have an urgent reason to do so.

“It’s an individual action – it’s the worst thing you can do,” she told Tom Elliott.

She also says employees should ask their employers for extra time off to include the extra time it would take to get to their destination and back.
