"你的碳足跡"

飛行對環境有害，但我們能做一些事讓環境更好。

我們每次旅行，幾乎都會留下碳足跡，這是一種計算我們每趟旅行造成多少汙染的印記。飛行製造出的碳足跡，幾乎都比其他形式的旅行方式還多，如果我們想要拯救世界，免其遭環境災難，我們就有責任讓我們的印記越少越好。

要做到這點，有兩種方式，第一種是在旅行時，試著創造較少的碳足跡。要謹記的第一件事就是，如果你搭乘商務艙或頭等艙，會比搭經濟艙製造出更多的碳足跡。還有，直接飛到目的地，比轉機還要好，而且有些航空公司比其他公司更環保。要查看航空公司，請到Greenopia的網站。

你能做的第二件事，就是購買碳補償。這些是你能做的一些環境計劃投資，像是風力發電廠或樹木種植。世界能源機構建議旅客，如果他們想購買碳補償，他們款項應該要捐給被認可和經認證的計劃。

(Travel) Your Trail of Carbon Footprints

Flying is bad for the environment, but there are things we can do to make it better.

Almost every time we travel, we leave behind a carbon footprint, an impression of how much pollution our journey has created. Flying creates a bigger footprint than almost any other form of travel, and if we want to save our world from environmental disaster, we have a responsibility to make our impressions as small as possible.

There are two ways to do this, and the first involves trying to make smaller carbon footprints when we travel. The first thing to bear in mind is that if you fly business or first class, youll create a bigger footprint than if you fly coach. Also, flying direct to your destination is better than making changes, and some airlines are more environmentally friendly than others. To check an airline, visit Greenopias website.

The second thing you can do is to buy carbon offsets. These are investments you can make in environmental schemes such as wind farms or tree planting. The World Resources Institute advises travelers that if they do want to buy offsets, they should donate money to recognized and accredited schemes.
