Rejected petition Carbon offset cost to be included in the cost of air travel

Air travel accounts for a large proportion of carbon dioxide emitted

More details

Climate change is forecast to have a detrimental effect on our economy and those benefitting are not the only ones impacted. Individuals can choose to contribute but the proportion of passengers doing so is low. This should be mandatory; the cost of air travel should include the cost to offset the damage it causes.
