3-2-1 Takeoff

What an incredible amount of human brain power and natural resource power it takes to get is to get us all safely to this magical city. Flying across the country is no easy task for us as passengers, for the pilots and crew, or for the plane. Taking off and rising up above 30,000 feet in the air, I could feel all the power being used to thrust this giant piece of metal into the air. Prior to this trip, I had not thought about the carbon impact a journey like this has on the environment. As students transitioning to professionals within the world, it is our responsibility to take care of the earth and reduce our carbon impact in the most efficient ways possible both in our personal lives and in our careers. After learning about carbon offsets, it gave me hope for our future on this earth and I hope we can all learn how to take care of it before it’s too late.
