2024-04-11Climate Protest Signs with Fossil Free Future Theme
Protesters march through an urban area carrying signs reading 'Fossil Free Future' and 'Stop the Money Pipeline to Climate Destruction.' Many participants wear face masks, suggesting the event took place during the COVID-19 pandemic era. -
2024-02-01Aviation is a Health Issue
A February 2024 fact sheet from the Stay Grounded network warns that aviation poses serious health risks not just for the climate, but for people living near airports, under flight paths, and for cabin crew. Aircraft noise is linked to cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment in children, sleep disturbance, and premature death, while burning jet fuel releases ultrafine particles that penetrate the lungs and bloodstream. The report calls for stricter noise regulations, limits on flight growth, and a halt to airport expansion as the most effective ways to protect public health. -

Long exposure photograph showing curved light trails of aircraft in flight against a dark night sky above a city horizon. The image captures the flight paths of multiple aircraft with their navigation lights creating streaking patterns through the darkness. -
Wingtip Vortices
An F-35 Lightning II stealth multirole fighter aircraft is photographed from below during flight, with visible wingtip vortices — condensation trails formed by low-pressure airflow at the wingtips. A caption label in the image explicitly identifies the aerodynamic phenomenon as 'Wingtip vortices.' -
350 Seattle Infographic on Aviation Emissions and Sea-Tac Airport Environmental Justice
An infographic published by 350 Seattle detailing aviation's environmental impact, including projected emissions growth to +1200% by 2050, environmental justice concerns around Sea-Tac Airport, and the claim that commercial aviation produced 918 million metric tons of CO2 in 2018. The infographic includes a map showing the 3km and 10km pollution radius around Sea-Tac Airport and calls for a reduction in aviation to meet climate goals. -
