Want to save the environment? Then don't do long-distance holidays

Want to experience snow for the first time in a country far, far away? Well, it’s probably a good idea to wait a while longer.

Not so, says sustainability expert Felix Ekardt, a German professor of law and philosophy who is one of a growing number of people voicing their criticism of long-distance, and air travel.
