Trains Rule and Planes Drool

Night Train

Flying sucks. Big time. Not convinced? Check out my awesome new post at Celsias for 10 great reasons why you should take the train. And the environment is not one of them, haha. Go on, you won’t be sorry. Even though sometimes (but not always) it might be more expensive, it is totally worth it, especially for shorter trips.

When you consider your options don’t forget to factor in the time it gets you to get to the airport, that you have to be there 1 or 2 hours early, that you will wait 1 hour for luggage and that you will need another hour to get to where you are going from the other airport. And transport to and from the airport, whether it is a taxi or a shuttle will sometimes cost more than the ticket itself.

So think about it. Is it really worth the global warming you would be causing? But that’s enough spoilers…. Go and read my post :D

Out of the Closet

This is the Closet Environmentalist, my coming out journey towards sustainability on a student budget, bypassing the unwashed-hippie stereotypes. This is a record of a struggle against the murky waters of the Greenwash Sea.

Me? I am a Russian-born Portuguese expat living in the Netherlands. My background is in Environmental Engineering and Urban Environmental Management. Yes, I know what I'm talking about so you better listen to me. This is me:

*no flowers were harmed*

You can also catch my writings on Celsias.

Feel free to subscribe because I have absolutely no idea when I'll be posting again:
