It blows my mind that a single intercontinental flight uses up one person's entire #climate compatible emissions.
Not flying at all would be best. As it is, I try to at least offset the emitted CO2, which gives me some peace of mind.
To do this I never use the compensation options offered by the airline. Maybe, if they were transparent about their finances, which they'll never do being corporate hells they are.
Independent non-profits like #Atmosfair are much better.

@bigz "It blows my mind that a single intercontinental flight uses up one person's entire #climate compatible emissions." We haven't taken a plane since 15 years for that very reason: A friend tracked her carbon footprint for a year, and while she led an almost impeccably sustainable life with a *below* average GHG foot print, the intra-European flights she took for a summer vacation (🇩🇪 from to 🇪🇸 and back) crushed her total GHG emissions.
