Green Flights – Look in any airport and you\u2019ll find a world that doesn\u2019t seem to care about pollution.<\/p>\n
Huge airliners cough and splutter fumes, baggage cars emit like a power plant, and the tarmac placed on runways scythes the countryside of its natural charm with nary a shrug of the shoulder.<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t make you feel particularly good about flying.<\/p>\n
Especially with the current global mess.<\/p>\n
Do you really want to feel like you\u2019re adding to that smoke and smog by booking a flight?<\/p>\n
Well, although planes are still hotbeds of pollution, there are ways to reduce the emissions you\u2019re using before and during a flight.<\/p>\n
As environmentally-conscious travelers, we are always trying to do things as green as we can.<\/p>\n
This includes finding green flights.<\/p>\n
As what usually happens when we mention anything related to airplanes, we get some criticism.<\/p>\n
“Aren’t you green?”<\/p>\n
“Don’t you care about the environment?”<\/p>\n
“Flying is terrible.”<\/p>\n
Yes, we agree that planes are the worst mode of transportation when it comes to their environmental impact.<\/p>\n
In fact we’ve written a lot about this including articles about airplane cabin air, Principles for Choosing Green Transportation, and a Guide to Carbon Offsets.<\/a><\/p>\n So, this begs the question, are there green flights?
