The aviation industry is responsible for 3.5% of the world’s carbon emissions. That may seem like a small number globally, but this is a big problem in the developed world—and a stubborn one to solve. In this episode, Ryan and Anjali take a look at how Hawaii—a state whose aviation produces half of all transportation emissions—is working to clean up their airways and reach their goal of zero emissions by 2045. They consult experts to learn about the three main problems to focus on, what we can learn from Europe’s strategy to tackle this issue, and the steps available right now to pilots, passengers, and governments to shrink the carbon footprint of flying.
