UK newspaper the CO2 has introduced an interactive tool allowing readers to calculate the carbon footprint of their flights. The tool calculates the carbon footprint of journeys between the world's 100 busiest airports, noting each flight's CO2 emissions and telling readers how many countries there are globally where the average person produces less CO2 annually than any given flight. The newspaper also recommends readers avoid flying or opt for alternative modes of transport if possible and suggests to readers they book holidays with ethical travel companies, using trips to make positive contributions to destinations.
