How to Fly Green
When you see those pretty jet trails in Utah’s blue skies, you’re looking at tons of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and water vapor escaping into the atmosphere. These three gases contribute to the greenhouse effect, and you can do something about it the next time you make travel arrangements.
·
Choose non-stop flights. The most jet fuel is consumed during
takeoffs and landings, so the less you go up and down the less fuel you
consume.
·
Avoid short flights. In this day of hubs, that’s hard to do but
the most fuel-efficient flight is 600 miles or more.
·
Take daytime flights. According to one study, jet trails emitted
at night have more of a negative effect.
·
Pay attention to equipment when making reservations. Look for
newer more fuel-efficient planes like the Boeing B787 and Airbus A340 or A380.
·
After booking your flights, make it a habit to google “carbon
offsets” and contribute money to a tree planting or renewable energy project.
