Traveling is so bad carbon wise, but it is to good to give up! In addition, what if you are visiting family? Are you really going to give up seeing your family face to face? I can not image a life with out traveling! I have met so many awesome people and gone to so many cool places! I can not image not have being able to travel!

can you think of a way to travel and use less carbon?  how do you travel once you get to your destination?  sometimes if I need to fly to Europe for work, I will get a non-stop flight (less carbon that having a stop) and then once I land I travel by long distance train.

We always get non-stop, but thank you for your suggestion about taking a train afterword.

I think travelings is a very important part of society as it brings us together and as our technology advances, it will only continue to connect us more. I completely agree with you that traveling is off the table to give up as it is such a revolutionary aspect of our culture. However, I think it's important that we try and find other ways to make up for the carbon footprint we cause when traveling. I agree with what Jason aid about taking a train. Whenever I travel with my family we try to take buses or the public transportation systems of wherever we are if we can figure it out, rather than renting a car. This helps because we are also not using a car at home! I know a few days of car travel doesn't nearly compete with the Carbon footprint of an international plane flight but everything helps!
