You bite the bullet and hang on." 2) The majority of carbon emissions from aviation comes from a FEW BINGE FLIERS = ... from a FEW FLIERS WHO FLY EXTREMELY OFTEN. * "binge" means an excessive, uncontrolled indulgence in something, like eating or drinking till you drop. 3) As a way of trying to push "GOING FLIGHT-FREE", I don’t really like it (better put the phrase in quotes). = ... to push THE PRACTICE OF NOT FLYING (AT ALL), I don't ... * "NOUN-free" means not involving NOUN, e.g. fat-free diet = a diet not involving/including fat. 4) It is particularly important for academics working in climate change TO SET THE EXAMPLE by reducing their flying. = ... in climate change TO SHOW A MODEL by ... * "to set an/the example" = to show a good model case for other people to see and follow.
