Nelfair Says Taking 30 Long Distance Flights Releases as Much CO2 as Having One Child
Emphasizing on the adverse impact of traveling on the environment, the article reveals how the travel sector is a major determinant in climate change accounting for 8% of global carbon emissions.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nelfair, a website devoted to offering comprehensive buying guides and product reviews of luggage and other travel gear, has released a new report, which equates the amount of carbon dioxide emissions from thirty long-distance flights to the number of emissions from having one extra child.
The article lays emphasis on the environmental impact of traveling and reveals how the travel sector is a significant determinant in climate change accounting for 8% of global carbon emissions. With the manifold increase in air travel worldwide coupled with the booming tourism industry, aviation could take up a quarter of the world's "carbon budget" by 2050. Substantiated with data from studies published in journals such as Nature- Climate Change, Science, and bolstered by clean, intelligible info-graphics, the article shows a direct correlation between environmental degradation and anthropogenic activities. It veritably underlines how an individual's carbon footprint by dint of traveling can be worryingly detrimental to the planet. A passenger taking a direct return flight from New York to London generates as much CO2 as the heating of an average family home in the UK emits for an entire year. Nelfair suggests adopting a 'flexitarian' approach towards flying to lessen one's carbon footprint. The report cites names of climatologists, like Alice Larkin of Tyndall Centre for Climate Change and Peter Kalmus of the University of California, who have rejected air travel and recommend sustainable and responsible ways of traveling to make the getaway more enriching.
