has launched a scheme for travellers to purchase carbon removal credits to make their flights “carbon neutral.”
committed to carbon neutrality by 2050. This “net zero” goal means balancing the carbon that is emitted with absorbing it in carbon sinks such as soil, forests and oceans that absorb more carbon than they emit. If airlines were a country, they’d be a top 10 global carbon emitter. When we do fly, we need to make those trips count: stay longer and support local communities and conservation.
