Have Environment Issues Caused a Change in Your Behaviour?

And business travel?

the rest of your comments don’t really deserve a reply after the final comment

Well it was hyperbolic on purpose, sorry if it was offensive... business travel, well they can just pay the extra can't they or find a way to push for less damaging conferencing. If they can constantly find millions to pay Executives huge bonuses, they can find millions to pay their way on carbon.

Currently, international flights in Europe are not subject to VAT and airlines pay no tax on their kerosene. But the Dutch government has now issued a position paper to lay the groundwork for levies on the aviation industry to address its climate impact. Aviation emissions have doubled since 1990 and flying now accounts for 5% of global warming. Campaigners say taxes would incentivise airlines and manufacturers to reduce the sector’s environmental impact, shifting environmental costs to users while still raising money to allow tax cuts for citizens or improve public services.

The Netherland proposes an EU tax on individual airline tickets, similar to an approach it is planning in the Netherlands. It is also open to other forms of carbon pricing such as taxes on jet fuel or taxing airlines per flight. The UK, Sweden, France, Germany and Italy already have a taxes on airline tickets.

Recently 36% of adults polled in the UK said they would back a tax on frequent flyers to help tackle environmental damage caused by air travel. 56% also agreed that a frequent flyer levy would be fair, while only 26% felt it would be unfair.

Executive summary
• Most people don’t think the government is doing enough to tackle environmental damage caused by air travel.
• Half of us say we would be willing to reduce the amount we fly to protect the environment - but nearly a third would not.
• Frequent flyers are much less willing to reduce the amount they fly than others.
• Those who are concerned about climate change are more supportive of reducing air travel, both at a personal and a policy level.
• A large majority of people are unaware of how damaging air travel is for climate change - but those who are aware are much more supportive of reducing air travel.
• Most people believe a frequent flyer levy would be a fair way to tackle environmental damage from air travel.
• A frequent flyer levy is preferred over other policy options by a large margin

No (to the OP). I recycle, but I always have. Until we all understand that renewable energy cannot yet create renewable energy, we (science) has a long way to go.
