An LCA in the Journal of Industrial Ecology<https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jiec.13430?campaign=wolearlyview> compares the carbon emissions of different conference formats. The authors, Toscani, Atasu, van Wassenhove, and Vinelli, reflect not just on individual conferences but also on how academic societies can achieve their deeper goals while staying within planetary boundaries. The article draws on research by Klöwer, Parncutt, Ponette-Gonzalez, Kuper, Reay, and many other folks whose work we have highlighted previously. * Report on frequent flyer programs. A report from Possible, a non-governmental organization, titled Pointless: the Climate Impact of Frequent Flyer Status<https://protect2.fireeye.com/v1/url?k=31323334-501cfaeb-3130cb80-454455535732-c18cbd2d2b15875a&q=1&e=ae04956c-c408-4a25-b15d-07beb019697b&u=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2F1BzQp0KxpsfQw7ika1N48akawyqm4URbeDPVoWJwQJCA%2Fedit%23heading%3Dh.u6xdl3y0oc6d>, tallies up the immense implied carbon emissions from various tiers of frequent flyer schemes. * Progress in Montana climate lawsuit. Connected with the remarkable news<https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/14/us/montana-youth-climate-ruling.html> of progress for the youthful plaintiffs in a climate lawsuit in Montana this month, you may be interested in Joe Nevins’ interview with the legal scholar Mary Christina Wood<https://protect2.fireeye.com/v1/url?k=31323334-501cfaeb-3130cb80-454455535732-062aea4c470b0f3d&q=1&e=ae04956c-c408-4a25-b15d-07beb019697b&u=https%3A%2F%2Facademicflyingblog.wordpress.com%2F2016%2F07%2F12%2Fa-legal-paradigm-shift-protecting-nature-by-entrusting-it%2F> in 2016 just as our initiative was getting started. * Other social media platforms. Please continue to share our initiative on the platform sometimes known as Twitter (@flyingless). The diversity of new options has been beyond the ability of our small volunteer initiative to manage. During these times of chaos in social media platforms, if you find merit in our approach, please take your own actions to share our main website link on your favorite platforms with a post or comment of your own (flyingless.org<https://protect2.fireeye.com/v1/url?k=31323334-501cfaeb-3130cb80-454455535732-dd027678ea40f2b3&q=1&e=ae04956c-c408-4a25-b15d-07beb019697b&u=http%3A%2F%2Fflyingless.org%2F>). We need your help. * Lifestyles of the NOT Jet Set. The newly released episode of Parke's YouTube travel show (Episode 17: Listening<https://lithub.com/snapshots-of-the-end-of-travel-on-trying-to-enter-a-personal-no-fly-zone/>) takes a walking tour of New Orleans music history sites, while reflecting on the Juneteenth holiday and an ongoing heat wave. * Email preferences. These occasional email updates through Google Groups, fewer than once monthly, are being sent to people who supported our petition (flyingless.org<https://protect2.fireeye.com/v1/url?k=31323334-501cfaeb-3130cb80-454455535732-dd027678ea40f2b3&q=1&e=ae04956c-c408-4a25-b15d-07beb019697b&u=http%3A%2F%2Fflyingless.org%2F>) and checked a box for receiving occasional emails.
