‘To fly or not to fly’ a Samoan Circle discussion

Tuesday 2 December 2008 – Aigburth Cricket Club

On the night of all the hail stones, we had a really interesting discussion, linking the issue of whether or not to fly with issues of regulation, price compared with other forms of transport, social values today, enjoyment & relaxation in travel vs stressful rushed ‘holidays’, the structure of working lives today as compared with the past. And for those of us who have flown a lot, a suggestion of how to approach the next generation who want to fly: a carbon allowance, which would enable some flying, before giving up…?? The Samoan Circle worked really well, giving everyone the chance to give their opinions and enlivening the discussion. We also watched some very interesting video clips, which we will make links available for very soon. We hope to have more events like these!
