Flying is, by a long shot, the number 1 action we can do to substantially reduce our carbon footprint. However, if there is no alternative to flying we can still make several changes to our business trips that will make a dent in our carbon footprint. Here are some suggestions to reduce the carbon footprint of your trip:

• Book a direct flight whenever possible
• Avoid creative ticketing (I.e. If you are flying one-way, don't book a round-trip ticket if it happens to be cheaper)
• Choose a company with the lowest carbon footprint
• Book economy class
• Travel light
