Today's Video Focus: Travelling by plane has never been more popular, with four billion
passengers flying every year.
But aviation emissions contribute to climate change, and scientists say
we need to do more to tackle the problem.
BBC research has found that only a tiny fraction of passengers
travelling with the world's biggest airlines are choosing to offset
their carbon footprints.
Carbon offset schemes involve paying extra in order to contribute to
environmental projects that reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere,
though some say it's just an excuse to continue polluting.
But it's not the only way to reduce the impact of your flight on the
planet.
Focus of the Day Article:
Private jails more violent than public ones, data analysis shows - figures for England and Wales raise questions over government’s prisons model.
