Every flight you take severely impacts your carbon footprint, so much so that an energy-saving, bike-to-work, alternative-energy-using, vegan environmentalist who hops on a few flights per year may actually have a more negative impact on the environment than an SUV-driving carnivore who has never left the country or flown on a plane.
