How you get there makes all the difference in the amount of climate damage you do.

Flying can emit ten to twenty times more climate changing emissions per person than driving a mostly full car or taking the bus. A single flight can wipe out years of climate savings you've made from riding your bike, changing your lightbulbs and turning down the heat. Even the type of plane you fly on can make a tremendous difference...just like with cars.

Before you travel, check out our handy charts and info to find the best way to get there:

3) View another chart that compares climate pollution from single flights to what citizens of different nations emit all year.

4) Offset your travel climate pollution using a high quality offset provider. Amosfair came out tops in our personal research as well as in some independent reviews. (Note: we are not affliated in any way with any offset providers)

5) Read stories of individuals and businesses who are struggling to balance the convenience and profits of jet setting with the oversized climate damage it does.
