Unfortunately we often make such unpleasant encounters while strolling in the countryside. A good deed is that of disposing of such waste which is harmful to the environment apart from being an eyesore. A better deed would be that of educating people living in our community to take care of our natural environment.

International research shows that in 2018 2.5% of global CO2 emissions were from aviation. From 2013-2018 CO2 emissions from aviation increased by 32% and this can triple due to post Covid travel boom. For example, a return flight London to New York emits 1,100kg of CO2 per passenger. Lower CO2 emissions should be the target and the use of SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) instead of fossil fuel is highly encouraged. SAF is produced from used cooking oil and household forestry waste. Further more, improved aircraft & engine design and making passengers more environmental conscious would also help to attain greener flights.
