Sydney looks so beautiful from the sky but beware of the impact of flying!

A single roundtrip flight causes as much carbon emission per passenger as driving a typical car 724 kilometer a month for a year (source).
When we need to be reducing our emissions, not increasing them, air travel certainly sends us in the wrong direction.

But there are a lot of things you can do. The best thing is to find an alternative to flying, such as taking the train, teleconferencing instead of face-to-face business meetings and plan your next vacation closer to your home.

Read Inspired to stay grounded to find out more. And if staying grounded is not an option for you, you can buy carbon offsets too.
