#flyingless is the way for me. It's such a tedious process.
What I hate about flying #1
Flying is physically exhausting. Between the pressure changes and the dry air, I'm feeling pretty wiped out by the time we land. #flyingless
What I hate about flying #2
The smell of jet exhaust while sitting on the runway #flyingless
What I hate about flying #4
The greenhouse gas emissions -- a small number of people doing a huge amount of damage #flyingless

What I hate about flying #6
The crappy junkfood. Both in the airport and on the plane the food is overpriced and not as nutritious as my normal fare. #flyingless
What I hate about flying #7
The noise from overhead flights. Even though I live >10 miles from the airport, I still constantly hear flights passing overhead.

What I hate about flying #4
@DecaturNature Yes. This is why I wish more people would think about how much damage they do by traveling a lot by plane.
Cruise ships are also a major hazard to the environment.
What I hate about flying #4
@DecaturNature Here's one article about how much plastic and sewage cruise ships dump in the ocean.
Fines aren't enough to deter them.
Everyone should boycott cruises. https://www.reuters.com/business/sustainable-business/cruise-industry-faces-choppy-seas-it-tries-clean-up-its-act-climate-2022-07-27/
What I hate about flying #5
The hustle: getting to the airport, dealing with security lines, waiting in the airport, catching connecting flights...
