  • How can I fly more sustainably from South Africa to Zimbabwe?

    There are numerous ways you can fly sustainably to Zimbabwe from South Africa. They include flying during the day, as flights during the night usually lead to the formation of clouds that hinder Earth-emitted radiation from escaping and packing lightly, given that flights with heavy luggage usually consume more fuel and emit more carbon gases than flights with light luggage. Purchasing carbon offsets every time you fly is also a way you can fly sustainably, as the proceeds received from the sale of carbon offsets usually go towards funding projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gases emitted by flights. Judging by the fact that these tips have proven effective, if you’re a fan of sustainable travel, you should put them into practice.
