A 747 holds 63 thousands gallons of fuel and it takes about 35 thousands gallons for it to fly 10 hours. That’s just one plane. Granted there are smaller planes flying too.
With all the planes in the sky every day and all the travel logistics vacationing jet setting etc. how long do you think we as a planet can keep that up?
You have to add the materials used to build the car as well.If I fly from Berlin to Maldives and back, distance is 15300km and I would cause 972 kg of CO2. I checked my app and since I started recording I have been driving 31625km and have produced 4679 kg co2. So driving is as bad. This is with an economical car with a small engine. I would guess that figure is double that in US with big vehicles.
Perhaps. I wish more of them would try...I haven't read through all the pages in this thread but maybe the reason millenials and gen X, Y, Z'ers don't dive is they can't get a good cell phone signal underwater.
As this thread nears 200 posts, it may be time to get back onto the original post, which theorized that some of the decline in scuba participation may be due to the destruction of the beautiful diving spots that abounded when I was a new diver and spurred me to dive all around the world. Some people have speculated that much of this is due to poor diving skill damaging the reef, and I replied that reefs are dying that have had little contact from divers.
Here is an article that may be of interest.
