Tyers is not the only person to shun air travel in response to climate change. Thousands of people worldwide have publicly pledged to stop flying, including teenage activist Greta Thunberg, who has inspired youth climate protests around the world.

泰尔斯不是唯一一个避免坐飞机来应对气候变化的人。全世界有数千人公开承诺停止坐飞机，其中就包括青少年活动家格蕾塔·桑伯格，她激励全球各地的年轻人起来抗议气候变化。

Activist Maja Rosen launched the "Flight Free" campaign in Sweden in 2018 with the aim of encouraging 100,000 people not to fly for one year.

2018年，活动家玛雅·罗森在瑞典发起了“无飞行”活动，目标是鼓励10万人一年内不坐飞机。

Although only around 14,000 people signed the online "#flightfree2019" pledge, Rosen told cnn that the campaign had made more people aware of the urgency of the climate crisis and motivated them to travel by train more often.

尽管只有约1.4万人在#无飞行2019 线上承诺书签了字，罗森告诉cnn说，该活动让更多人意识到了气候危机的紧迫性，并激励他们更多地乘坐火车出行。

According to a survey released in May 2019 by Swedish Railways (SJ), 37% of respondents chose to travel by train instead of plane where possible, compared to 20% at the start of 2018. An SJ spokesperson said: "Rail travel is soaring thanks to climate fears."Domestic passenger numbers in July fell by 12% compared to the previous year, according to Swedavia, a company which operates Sweden's 10 busiest airports.
