Every year I travel outside the U.S. to Europe or Asia. The Carbon footprint I leave behind is huge. Traveling is off the table for me.

I agree! I fly a lot for the sport I play and it is hard to get around it. There is also more than one person in the decision because I play on a team. Unfortunately when it comes to choosing flights, we think about the cost rather than what will reduce our carbon footprint. Is there a way we can make planes more efficient?

I agree as well it is pretty hard to change the Carbon footprint you leave behind due to traveling. Many people have to visit family out of town which causes them to fly planes which leave a huge Carbon footprint. As an alternative, we should find ways that we can make planes produce less carbon. Any way to reduce the amount of Carbon from planes would affect our world extremely because one of the major causes of our Carbon footprint would be planes and traveling places.

I know scientists are exploring ways for planes to produce less carbon. I read about solar powered planes they are testing out. The plane made a round trip around the world! Right now the planes cannot carry a lot of weight, it is slow, and cannot fly for a long time but it is a step towards a healthier earth!
