Airline emissions 'far higher than previous estimates'

Airplanes are polluting 20% more than previously estimated. I know the next generation of airplanes currently being built are meant to be more fuel efficient, but we are still a few years off from actually being to see those in the air. In the meantime there isn’t a whole lot you can do to be a “green” traveler.

I’ve been buying carbon offsets with TerraPass for all my flights (in addition to my home and car). DOPPLR recently added a feature to calculate your precise carbon emissions which is a helpful tool and reminder to think green.
