THINK BEFORE YOU FLY
What you would have to do to balance out that extra aviation CO2
Global warming is largely caused by the release of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) from the burning of fossil fuels - oil, gas and coal - in planes, cars, central heating and most forms of electricity generation. Globally we are being asked to REDUCE the amount of CO2 we are each responsible for.
If you take a plane you INCREASE the amount of CO2 you are responsible for. This site shows what you would need to do just to balance out that extra CO2 at home or on the road. The list below is in order of distance from London. Click on the destination you would like to research. If you can't find the place you are after, check out one near to it.
