Behaviour change specialist Anna Hughes has worked in sustainable transport since 2008, at first focussing on bikes with Sustrans, and now on aviation with Flight Free UK. A lifelong environmentalist, she stopped flying more than ten years ago and this was where her adventure truly began.
Her favourite flight-free trip was cycling the length of France to swim in the Mediterranean.
She is now on a mission to encourage all of us to take the pledge to forgo flying for one year so we too can experience the incredible benefits of slow travel while protesting against the destruction caused by the fossil fuel industry.
