    Sure, they don’t represent much compared to all flights people take just to go on vacation though…

    Heck, your emissions are lower by driving to your destination with four passengers in a full sized truck or SUV than they are by having the same four passengers take a plane.

    Consider the time wasted at the airport and if you’re traveling a distance that can be covered by car in a day you’re better off driving alone in a small car to get there.

    Airplane manufacturers invest in anti emissions tech only to look good to authorities, none of it gets implemented in the end, might as well drive a car from the 80s on which the converter has never been changed, you’ll probably pollute less for the same distance travelled!

      This is what I tell everyone. By the time you arrive at the airport. Go through security. Wait on the plane, then reverse that when you land, there’s a lot of added time there.
