My reflection 01.11.21

 A few days ago while I was on my way to school I listened to a very interesting radio broadcast. It was about a new law which the European Union wants to bring into existence. The UE wants to ban short-distance flights. By that they mean flights of less than 500 kilometres. The exception are the distances that cannot be covered by any other means of transport in less than 2.5 hours. 

In my opinion that's a good idea because thanks to that we can cut back on carbon dioxide emission significantly. However I don't think that it would work in Poland correctly as we don't have a rail network designed for high speeds. So, for example it would be impossible to travel from Warsaw to Szczecin by train in less than 2.5 hours. Of course in other countries that have better developed infrastructure bringing this idea into force would be great and maybe it could help save the environment even in a modest way.
