Air travel is difficult to electrify due to the weight and energy constraints of batteries. Instead, the industry promotes carbon offsetting, which is just greenwashing and does not address the pollution caused by flying. (2/3)#CarbonOffsetting #EnvironmentalImpact Photo:Trac Vu

So what can we do? Reduce, or eliminate, your own flying. Banning private jets is also essential. It's time for the industry to be held responsible for the damage they cause and for strict emission standards and bans on luxury flights to be implemented. (3/3) #SustainableTravel
