Our planet is suffering because of us. Transportation is a major culprit in the pollution of our beautiful earth, causing devastating effects. From extreme weather events to the destruction of natural habitats. By being conscious of your travel choices, like reducing air travel and avoiding unnecessary trips, you can help to reduce your carbon footprint and make a positive impact on the environment.

Stay Local

Ready for an adventure? Instead of jet-setting to far-off destinations, discover nearby hidden gems. Finding local adventures that you can walk or cycle to is among the greenest forms of travel. When venturing further, taking the train or bus is the more sustainable option to driving.

Easy Ways to Fly Greener

Flying is the most damaging way to travel for the climate. Air travel alone accounts for 2.5% of global carbon emissions. If you do choose to fly, here are 5 simple ways you can minimise your carbon footprint:

1. Offset Your Journey

Purchase credits from airline or certified organisations to support trusted climate projects and promote renewable energy.

2. Choose the Newest Plane

Fly with an airline that uses the newest aircraft possible for your route. These typically tend to be more efficient than older models and produce less emissions.

3. Take Direct Flights

Choose the most direct route to your destination rather than connecting flights to reduce carbon emissions.

4. Fly Economy Class

Flying in economy uses less carbon as it maximises the number of passengers that each flight can carry.

5. Pack Light

The heavier the plane, the more fuel it requires. By packing light, everyone can help reduce fuel consumption.
