Charlie Mgee (pictured) was the first person to sign Flight Free Oz's flight free pledge, and it has changed his life.

Charlie, a musician based in Western Australia feels the pledge has changed his life for the better as he has been forced to slow down, stop the mind-altering international travel and "re-localise" himself - he's more contented and more connected.

A panel of four speakers, of which Charlie was one, appeared on the Flight Free Oz webinar that was a part of the National Sustainable Living Festival.

Other speakers were an inaugural Beyond Zero Emissions Fellow, Professor David A. Hood; musician and art student at the University of Melbourne, Uma Dingemans, who campaigned against the "flights to nowhere"; and U.S. clinical psychologist,  Margaret Klein Salamon, who helps people to face the deeply frightening, painful truths of the climate emergency and transform their despair into effective action. 

Her work can be found on the website, "Facing the Climate Emergency".
