With each passing day, more airlines strive to become more eco-friendly while still providing you with the best customer service. Some of the airlines offering flights to New York from Johannesburg have also managed to keep up the pace to offer more sustainable travel. The airlines at the forefront of that struggle include the KLM, British Airways, and United Airlines. One of the strategies these airlines have put into place is investing in sustainable fuel sources, hence reducing emissions. They have also invested in modern and more efficient aircrafts, for example, British Airways. Others, like KLM, have focused on waste management, recycling of materials, and noise reduction. Having played their part, let's have a look at how you can also contribute.
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.
