FLY DIRECT: (If the bank permits). It might not be the cheapest, but a straight line is shorter than many many stops, dramatically cutting down carbon emissions. According to Alternative Airlines if your flight has just one stopover, it increases your total emissions by up to 35%. And, take-off and landing uses more fuel than flying at altitude (World Nomads) not to mention emissions and the environmental impact of stopover airports.
NO-FRILLS: Try opting for economy flights with no-frills airlines. The more people in the plane, the lower your individual emissions. Also, paying for what you need and use also means less wastage.
PACK LIGHT: Mum’s been telling us this for years, but now it’s serious. If everyone aimed to pack 2lbs (0.9kg) less than normal, it would be equivalent to removing over 10,000 cars from the road annually! Little changes, big difference - we like it.
INVEST IN SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL: Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a biofuel that has up to 80% fewer emissions than conventional jet fuel. Tomorrow’s Air packages directly fund the scale-up of this important aviation innovation.
REMOVE CARBON, BECOME AN AIRROW FOR AIR:
Once carbon dioxide is emitted it remains in the atmosphere for generations. Carbon removal technologies that can provide permanent storage for carbon dioxide help to rapidly address legacy emissions - the trillions of tons of excess CO2 that have accumulated (and continue to accumulate) in the atmosphere over the last century and a half since burning fossil fuels for energy began. When you place a carbon dioxide removal order through Tomorrow's Air, you're making a valuable investment in climate conscious travel education and the scale up of carbon removal technologies.
