The tourism sector creates about a tenth of the greenhouse gas emissions that fuel climate change. And planes are a major culprit.

The article by Lea Lane on Forbes, published on April 24, 2025, discusses the impact of flying on climate change and offers ways travelers can mitigate their carbon footprint. It highlights that the aviation industry contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, and while technological advancements like electric and hydrogen-powered planes are in development, they are not yet widely available. Travelers can help by choosing airlines with better fuel efficiency, opting for non-stop flights, and participating in carbon offset programs. Additionally, the article suggests reducing overall travel frequency, exploring alternative transportation like trains, and supporting policies and initiatives aimed at reducing aviation's environmental impact. By making informed choices, travelers can play a crucial role in combating climate change.
