Summary
Michelle Ackerley finds out what the Government's net zero targets means for holiday-makers and asks if it's possible to make an environmentally responsible decision on a budget. As the aviation industry develops new ideas to reduce emissions with technologies, such as new fuels and battery-powered planes, the BBC's climate editor Justin Rowlatt and science reporter Fran Scott join Michelle to explore whether it will be possible to keep flying abroad into the future
Review

More than 200 million holidaymakers fly in and out of the UK every year. From an industry standpoint, it’s a big success story, but in environmental terms it’s a catastrophe.
The BBC’s climate editor, Justin Rowlatt, presenter Michelle Ackerley and science reporter Fran Scott investigate what airlines are doing to reduce their environmental impact. Are biofuels better than current jet fuels? Do electric planes provide a solution? Might carbon offsetting just be making the problem worse? You may end up feeling that staying on the ground is the best option.
