Unless you’re a bird, avoid flying
Flying, responsible for around 5 per cent of global warming, will only get worse without industry change
Why it's important
• Low flight prices don't reflect the true environmental cost of air travel
• If the aviation sector were a nation, it would be among the top 10 global emitters, with 12 percent of emissions
• The total carbon impact of a single flight is so high that avoiding just one trip = going (gasoline) car•free for a year
