# The biggest problem with air travel is corporate globetrotters
and as their company is picking up the tab, it doesn't matter to them whether the flight is £60 or £600.

There should be a carbon allowance, per head, for large companies, and if they exceed it, they should be fined cunted in the fuck.

You fly somewhere, pay for a tree to be planted, but it takes the tree 20 years to absorb the carbon from that 1 journey.
You fly a month later.. another tree... combined timescale 40yrs...
.........and so it goes on.......
