Twenty-four trains,nine countries,13,500 miles.
   They are the numbers behind a train journey one man took from Southampton in the UK to eastern China.Roger Tyers,37,spent a month on board trains and over $ 2,500 — almost three times the cost of a return flight to travel to the Chinese port city Ningbo for academic research in May,2019.It was the climate crisis that drove this socialist to choose this complex route.Tyers told CNN that he felt it necessary to stop flying when UN climate experts warned last year that the world has less than 11 years to avoid disastrous levels of global warming.
   Tyers is not the sole person to avoid air travel in response to climate change.Thousands of people worldwide have publicly promised to stop flying,including teenage activist Greta Thunberg,who has inspired youth climate protests around the world.Activist Maja Rosen started the "Flight Free" campaign in Sweden in 2018 with the aim of encouraging 100,000 people not to fly for one year.
   Rosen,who stopped flying 12 years ago,says the "Flight Free" campaign helps fight the sense of hopelessness many people feel when it comes to dealing with climate change. "One of the problems is that people feel there's no point in what you do as an individual.The campaign is about making people aware that if we do this together,we can actually make a huge difference," she said.
   A passenger's footprint from an individual flight depends on a number of factors,including how far he flies,how full the plane is,and what class he travels in:First class passengers are given more space than economy passengers,meaning they're responsible for a bigger part of the plane's emissions.Tyers said that his train journey to China produced almost 90% less emissions than a return flight.

  • 2.    In my early 30s,I struggled to find a dream job.One of my friends reminded me that I'd always loved beauty,and suggested I apply for a licence,which would give me the freedom to set up my own business.
        However,the only problem was that tuition fees were $6,000,which was out of my budget.I knew that my salary wouldn't cover all the fees,even if I worked extra hours every day.I'd seen others set up crowd funding papers to help them achieve their goals.I thought I'd do the same.Then,on a Friday night,I received a large amount of money in my bank account,which made me really surprised.There had been some mistakes.I assumed it was an illegal trick.
        It turned out to be a donation.The name on it is one I instantly recognized:Chrissy Teigen,my favorite TV host.She had left a note: "I've seen that this has been your dream for such a long time.I'm so happy to lend you a hand." I called my mom immediately.I was crying and not making much sense.I just managed to say that Chrissy Telgen had made my dream come true.
        The amount might have been a drop in the ocean for her,but it was life-changing for me.Lots of other people donated after her.Soon I paid all the fees for the course.I couldn't have been happier.I've now set up my own business,and I always think about Chrissy's generosity.I did thank her,and I still follow each other on Twitter.Hopefully,I will be able to give her a beauty treatment someday.
    (1)Why couldn't the author set up her own business? (no more than 10 words)
