Vegan Food & Culture in Istanbul, Turkey

How to Get Around in Iceland

Flying into a place that looks like Mars, I expected it to be pretty difficult to get around from place to place without the help of aliens. Even on a map, it really only looks like there is one road […]

A Note on the Impact Aviation has on Climate Change

Airplanes burn billions of gallons of fossil fuel each year emitting around 2% of our total global CO2 emissions. And sadly, sustainable alternative fuels for airplanes are still far off. These days airlines appear to be banking on convincing potential flyers to purchase “carbon offsets” to help ease our conscience about our travel footprint. Still, many consider offsets greenwashing intended to reassure the flying public.

Our community is faced with an ethical conundrum when it comes to air travel. On the one hand, travel opens our eyes to so many wonderful experiences and contributes to our overall understanding of our place in this amazing world. On the other, in choosing air travel we may be contributing to climate change and to the current extinction crisis (over 200 species are going extinct every day).

Travel by air is often the only realistic way to travel to another continent. But there are far more eco-friendly ways to travel within our home continent or once you arrive at our initial destination such as trains, coaches, and even electric vehicles as they become more affordable. Some in our community have pledged to completely stop flying, while others choose to fly less and travel more by public transport. Whatever you decide, we hope you will choose to better inform yourself about climate change and make your voices heard.

Our goal at VeganTravel is to provide useful information for our fellow vegan travelers while helping grow compassion by showing the world how easy it is to travel as ethical vegans. Whether you are a seasoned travel blogger or someone new to traveling, we enthusiastically welcome you to share your vegan travel experiences on this site. If you would like to share your travels on VeganTravel.com.
