The worst carbon emissions are emitted during take off and landing, so, whenever possible, fly direct to your destination. In some cases this may cost you more cash, but you will be cutting down on your carbon footprint and will enjoy the added benefit of spending less time sitting around at international airports.

Have taken a carbon emissions test?

A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact our activities have on the environment, and in particular climate change. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating and transportation etc.

The carbon footprint is a measurement of all greenhouse gases we individually produce and has units of tonnes (or kg) of carbon dioxide equivalent.
