Originally published: 27 Feb 07. We flew Ryanair last week to Birmingham for a day trip.... in the last year these 'day trips' have become routine for me.
For me it's staggering how much the world has changed in the last twenty years. I live about 10 minutes from Dublin Airport and have made some 50-60 day trips to the UK in the last year, at the same time I have made less than 50 trips to my company office in Tallaght. It's weird but unless I'm flying out of the country, I prefer to stay locked in my house and working from home in order to avoid traffic... it definitely feels like a weird reality to me.
It took us at least fifty years to realise that easy mobility (in cars) does have environmental consequences. I guess it will take us a few more years to acknowledge that easy mobility with Ryanair planes will have even bigger environmental consequences... by which time I will always work from home and refuse to leave the house unless going somewhere on my bicycle!
