“Given the high climate impact, why is it that so many environmentalists still choose to fly so much?,” writes climate Scientists Peter Kalmus for Yes Magazine. “I know climate activists who fly a hundred thousand miles per year. I know scientists who fly about as much but ‘just don\u2019t think about it.’ I even have a friend who blogged on the importance of bringing reusable water bottles on flights in order to pre-empt the miniature disposable bottles of water the attendants hand out. Although she saved around 0.04 kilograms of CO2 by refusing the disposable bottle, her flight to Asia emitted more than 4,000 kilograms, equivalent to some 100,000 bottles. I suspect that most people simply don\u2019t know the huge impact of their flying\u2014but I also suspect that many of us are addicted to it. We\u2019ve come to see flying as an inalienable right, a benefit of 21st-century living that we take for granted.”<\/p>\n
