Alarming isn’t it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Travelling on an aeroplane generates alot of CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions. Globally, aviation produced around 2.4%<\/a> of total CO2 emmissions (of which a whopping 88%<\/a> is tourism and leisure-related flying) and 5% of the emissions that contribute to the world\u2019s climate-warming problem.<\/span>\u00a0 If global commercial aviation were a country in the national CO2 emissions standings, the industry would rank number six<\/a> in the world!<\/p>\n

Air travel is just about the most unsustainable thing an individual can do in terms of climate impact.<\/p>\n

So, given the fact that climate change is the single biggest threat to coral reefs worldwide, how is it possible to have an eco-friendly holiday in Raja Ampat to see the world’s most biodiverse coral reefs, considering the amount of harm we cause simply by\u2026. arriving?<\/strong><\/p>\n
