Your flights are producing changes in climate. Every time you fly, you are contributing to global warming.
To encourage and create an environmental awareness, would it be great if the cabin attendant announced the environmental impact on your long-haul flight from Bangkok to Copenhagen while the fasten seat belt sign was turned off? What’s next?

It would be great if you realize the impact of your activities that relate to the amount of CO2 emission (greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions), that is produced directly in our daily lives through burning fossil fuels (e.g. gas, oil, coal) and public/private transportation (e.g. plane, bus and car) or indirectly through the whole lifecycle of a particular products and services we consume (e.g. food and drink, financial services, recreation & leisure, home renovation/building and car manufacturing & delivery, share of public services). The more we consume, the more CO2 emissions will be released on our behalves – Our "CARBON FOOTPRINT".
