In recent year number of people decided to reduce flying or avoid flying altogether. Although this trend serves many difficulties for individuals and businesses i believe that its environmental advantages outweigh disadvantages.
The major environmental benefit of reducing the number of flight taking is that it helps improving air quality. Air travel needs a large amount of fossil fuels to operate. These fossil fuels are hazard for air pollution causing a significant rise in pollution index. Thus, chossing not to travel by plane effects air positively. Another significant benefit is that promotes the use of online platforms. Avoiding air travel requires any substitute for businesses and individuals so they shifted to virtual mode. Now, instead of travelling together they now prefer to do their required work online. This led to the low combustion of fuels thats is also a major advantage to envirnment. For instance, An individual is travelling to other place to buy something, now after deciding to leave or reduce air travelling he prefer to buy it online that also helps to reduse air pollution. Thus, avoid or stop flying results in environmental benefits like improve in air and using online platforms.
Despite these advantages, there are also some drawbacks of avoiding and reducing flying. The major drawback is that using other transport options are really time taking and may be expensive. Such as using train as an alternative of air travel results in longer route and in some cases it may costs higher than flying tickets. Longer routes that might be expensive than travelling by air are always time consuming and can be delayed so if you need to be on time on your destination these alternative methods may put you in difficult situation especially for businessmens For instance, in my experience, there is a person, who have to reach other city at an event, instead of travelling by air he chose to travel by bus as result the bus get delayed and he can not attend his function. Thus, avoiding to travel by air may sometimes led to difficulties.
In conclusion, although deciding to reduce the number of times people fly every year or to stop flying altogether have some disadvantages like it may be costly and time consuming, i think that its advantages like improve in air quality and shift to virtual mode outweigh disadvantages
