Fly Carbon Neutral

Approximately 16,000 commercial aircraft currently service passengers around the world. During a typical year, this enormous fleet emits over 600 million tons of co2 into the atmosphere.

 

On an individual basis, flights are very similar to cars as far their per-mile emissions are concerned. The difference is that people easily fly long distances which would rarely be traveled by car. For instance, a roundtrip flight from New York to Paris covers over 7,000 miles, more than half of the average American motorist's yearly mileage. Just one or two significant flights each year can double your Carbon Footprint very quickly.

 

For this reason, the effect of flights on Global Warming has become more of a concern in recent years.
