Next we add an extra 1.1 tons of kerosene to account for take off, landing and taxiing to and from the runway. 3.1kg of CO2 is created for every 1kg of fuel used. So we multiply the fuel mass above by 3.1 to estimate the CO2 emitted. Finally we divide this amount by the average number of passengers for that type of flight to work out your personal contribution. ### Tips for reducing your flight-related emissions While flying less is the most obvious way to cut flight emissions, there are loads of great hacks for cutting flight emissions in creative ways! ![flight-tips-one]()Fly economy Did you know that business & first-class flights generate more carbon emissions? ![flight-tips-two]()Pack light This can really reduce flight emissions! Less weight in the plane means less fuel. ![flight-tips-three]()Eat local You've flown in but your food doesn't have to! Explore local veggie delicacies. ![flight-tips-four]()Stay sustainable Make your accommodation when you get there a lovely, eco-friendly place. ![flight-tips-five]()Transit green Explore wonders closer to home. There are adventures just around the corner! ![flight-tips-five]()Fly closer Explore wonders closer to home. There are adventures just around the corner! ![flight-tips-six]()Fly direct All that up & down and in & out of airports consumes more fuel than direct travel. ![flight-tips-three]()Don't fly Take a month to travel there by camel. Kidding. But could you get there another way? ![flight-tips-eight]()Fly newest If you can, pick an airline that's invested in newer, more fuel-efficient planes. ![flight-tips-none]()Drop domestic Take off and landing guzzle fuel, so domestic flights have high emissions per km. ![flight-tips-none]()Tell everyone Shout about your decision to reduce flight emissions. Others will be encouraged to do it too! ![flight-tips-ten]()Video meetings Video meetings are the new normal! Take that meeting without going anywhere. ### How to earn a clean conscience ### How to earn a clean conscience Offsetting is such a problematic term. At EcoTree, we aim to help people practically and financially towards a greener future. Individually, we'll never be able to completely offset or remove our footprint on the planet. We can't buy our way out of positive action going forward. But together, we can make a cleaner step in the right direction.
