Emissions

I'll be honest—I fly a lot. And I've been keeping track of every flight I've taken since 2019 to calculate the impact my air travel has on the environment. For every flight I take, I buy carbon credits in hopes to offset the damage.

My future travel goals include less flying and more environmentally friendly forms of transporation.
