If you are from the EU: Sign it it’s free. If it gets enough signatures the organizers get to meet with European Commission representatives and a public hearing in parliament. Credit to Adam Something on YouTube for posting about this.

    Thanks for posting this! I’m a firm believer that the best way to reduce emissions from planes (not the biggest polluter, but definitely up there) is providing viable alternatives. Trains are the clear alternative.

    Just signed the initiative.

      Honestly train travel is just such a nice experience compared to flying. No security, no coming early, almost no limit on luggage, bigger seats, food on board, less noise, I could go on. If I have to take a 2 hour flight I would rather take a five hour train ride.

        When my wife and I visited Germany we bought tickets that were good for 7 non consecutive days on ICE for $500 for the two of us. It was a great experience and we’ll do it again. (I think that deal is only available to non-EU visitors.)
