After 6 months of fieldwork in Bougainville🇵🇬, I'm ready to embark on leg 1 of my #NoFly journey to Germany. Travelling by🚢,🚅,&🚌over 27,000km, I'll emit ~535kg of CO2, 10 times less than✈️. This decision cost me my job, but I still think it was the right thing to do. 1/🧵 My ex-employer @kielinstitute had given me 3 days to fly to Germany, as my fieldwork got delayed. I objected I could work effectively slow-travelling,as always done in the past & as always approved by @kielinstitute. See e.g. my 2019 travel 👇 2/
