  • How can I fly more sustainably from Johannesburg to New York?

    The question of sustainability boils down to being responsible and avoiding wastage. One way to do this is to bring your own water bottle. This will help avoid being supplied with disposable cups, which end up littering the environment. You can also choose to use your own earphones because the ones provided by the airlines come with paper wrapping, which also litters the environment. It's also advisable to have less luggage. Too much baggage adds weight to the aircraft leading to more fuel consumption and hence more emissions. Additionally, consider ordering vegan food options. Processed foods like meat and dairy products are usually packed in unsustainable or non-biodegradable materials. Everybody has a role to play when it comes to caring for our environment, opting for eco-friendly travel options is a great way to address this.
