Can rewarding air travellers’ sustainable behaviour be more productive for the environment?

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

An article published by the BBC begins to break down the relationship between frequent flyer schemes and greenhouse gas emissions. – Should we get rid of air miles for climate change

As flying itself requires a lot more energy than its land-transport counterparts, it’s been branded “a uniquely high-impact activity” and “the quickest and cheapest way for a consumer to increase their carbon footprint” by Imperial College London social sciences researcher, Richard Carmichael. – Behaviour change public engagement and net-zero

Since it is impossible to outright ban travellers from flying, Carmichael suggested limiting the perks given to them by airlines through air miles and frequent flyer loyalty programs, which are not as productive for the environment. This “solution” presented is actually less likely to appeal to airlines than it would seem.

Airlines would be unlikely to axe a campaign that boosts travellers and it could be argued that efforts to reduce aviation’s impact on the environment should be better spent elsewhere. There needs to be more germane criteria for rewarding than just consumption of air travel. Travellers should be rewarded for “doing the right thing” if air miles schemes are still to be relevant to today’s world.

The very last thing we should be doing is reward frequent flyers,

However, there are alternate ways to recognise travellers while at the same time also promoting sustainable behaviour. Given sustainability is at the heart of the issue for airlines any scheme which cuts down on waste and CO2 emissions should be an attractive proposition to both airlines and travellers.

INFINITE GREEN POINTS

This is where the “Infinite Green Points” recognition system comes in.

Infinite Green Points is a program that doesn’t incentivise extra flying, but rather gets both travellers and airlines to build a cleaner footprint by making flying less wasteful. The imperatives of Infinite Green Points for air travel are to make choice sustainable, make economy class more personal and allow the traveller to own their journey.

Infinite Green Points will help airlines to minimise waste, reduce landfill, incineration, and over-catering costs. By recognising travellers who are willing to do their part in diminishing waste and weight onboard by making simple pre-travel decisions, airlines will be decreasing carbon emissions and landfill disposal while travellers can limit their guilt when having to travel by plane.
