You've hit the nail on the head. It's absurd that essential car travel is taxed heavily while frequent flying gets a free pass. This isn't just unfair, it's terrible climate policy. We must tax aviation fuel. #MakePollutersPay #FlightFreeFuture

Planes need fuel, as we need food. But like us, aviation needs to change its diet. Fossil-based jet fuel can be compared to factory-farmed beef. Both are very efficient sources of energy, but both raise environmental concerns, and greener substitutes are needed.

CO₂ emissions from aviation are bigger than we think, and still rising. If all sectors were to follow aviation’s lead, by 2050, the world would be 4ºC hotter. And keep in mind that these emissions only represent 1/3rd of aviation's total contribution to global warming. bumprints.org/carbon-emiss...

We love to travel, but we can no longer ignore the contribution of flying to climate change.

It's a very uncomfortable topic to look at. For many, flying is a status symbol" – Katie Thompson, former pilot and founder of Bumprints.

Misleading claims include:
✈️ That CO2 emissions from flying could be offset
✈️ Claiming 'SAF' can reduce CO2 emissions
✈️ Using the terms 'green', 'sustainable', or 'responsible'

Imagine if the tax from private jets helped fund cheap train tickets.

The richest polluters pay more, the rest of us travel greener.

That’s how you turn inequality into climate action. #ClimateCrisis

Hey Climate Rockstars!
How did you travel COP30 Brazil?
What went into your decision-making process?

Travel choices are so hard these days, especially for those of us on the frontlines of this battle against #climatechange.

Planning holiday travel?

Google Flights lets you easily sort flights by carbon emissions and a new feature called 'contrail warming potential.'

As passengers, if we all start choosing the lowest-emission flights, airlines will start competing on emissions. 💪 ✈️

Yes, driving an electric vehicle is better for the planet. But so is flying less, or making simple changes when you have to travel. There are easy ways to shrink your carbon bumprint -- the climate impact of sitting on an airplane. Use our Passenger Action Checklist bumprints.org/before-you-t...

Going vegan is a powerful way to help the planet. But we get that it's not for everyone. Avoid one long-haul economy flight this year, and you're already making a huge difference.

Every kilo of jet fuel burned creates over three kilos of carbon emissions, so the easiest way for an airline to reduce its carbon emissions is to burn less fuel...
✈️ But airlines are burning increasingly more fossil fuel, not less. 📈⛽︎
