Some might ask if politicians really need to travel the world for St Patrick's Day - but this is a much bigger issue, writes ShaunaReports
Every year without fail there’s a mass exodus of politicians from this island to far flung places around the globe to mark St Patrick’s Day.
I take flights, as many do. I was in Somalia recently to report on the impact of the climate crisis on the people starving there after three years with no rain. And that would not have been possible, had I not seen it with my own eyes. Personally we can do a few things to lessen our carbon footprint if we have to. It’s always possible to offset flights by planting trees or going vegan, as I have, to reduce my carbon footprint on the world. You can cycle or take public transport instead of jumping in your car, not waste food, plant for nature and so much more.
A report carried out by Cork sustainable energy firm Wizer Energy found business class flights create 3.44 more tonnes on average than economy.Whatever your view, at the very heart of this, it’s an aviation industry problem and it’s for them to fix. Maybe we take the money made from taxing those flights to insulate every home and cut the carbon cost of heating or develop internal travel networks as near to carbon neutral as they can be.
