In recent decades, private jets have become status symbols for the
world's wealthiest, while quick and easy flights have brought
far-flung destinations within the reach of everyone. But at what
cost to the environment? Around the world, flying emits around 860
million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide each year, and until the
outbreak of Covid-19, the aviation industry was one of the planet's
fastest-growing polluters. Now is the perfect time to pause and
take stock of our toxic relationship with flying. Part
climate-change investigation, part travel memoir, Zero Altitude
follows Helen Coffey as she journeys as far as she can in the
course of her job as a top travel journalist - all without getting
on a single flight. Between trips by train, car, boat and bike, she
meets climate experts and activists at the forefront of the
burgeoning flight-free movement. Over the course of her travels,
she discovers that keeping both feet on the ground is not only
possible but that it can be an exhilarating opportunity for
adventure. Her book is brimming with tips and ideas for swapping
the middle seat for the open road.
