Prince Harry flew out of Los Angeles to Shanghai to talk about rescue and environmental travel. In China, he spoke at the tourist event as the founder of Travalyst, a group that supports sustainable travel.
Travalyst, a group of Prince Harry, promotes a carbon calculator made with the help of large travel and technology companies. This instrument was previously criticized for showing lower flight emissions.
Travalyst says that people should choose more travel points to reduce the impact on carbon. The aim is to provide clear information about flight emissions.
The UK government states that one flight on this route on this route will cause 4,575 kg of CO2, which is likely to melt 13.5 square meters of summer sea ice. Travalyst’s instrument, however, shows only 2,600 kg, The Times reported.
This raised questions about the report shared at the event. According to his speech, climate change is not only an environmental problem, but also a business problem.
Prince Harry, Travalyst, promotes ecological travel. In six years he traveled abroad only three times, performed most of the meetings online, said The Times spokesman.
Travalyst started in 2019 with partners such as Google and Booking.com, employing 20 people. It recommends people to travel locally and run trains if possible. If flying, it urges people to choose flights with lower carbon emissions.
A reduction in the environmental impact
In his five -year report on Travalyst, he emphasizes these steps because key ways that travelers can reduce their impact on the environment.
“When considering how to get there, think about low carbon transport options such as a rail. And if flying is your only option, seek carbon emissions and prefer those that have less than average emissions.”
Travalyst promotes a flight calculator called Model Travel Impact Model (TIM) developed by Google. It helps passengers to see the impact of their flights.
However, experts say they can show lower emissions than a real impact. Greenpeace criticized this in 2022 for “airbrushing” effects, such as trails of condensation of heat capture.
Some experts feel that the model makes air companies look better than them. Travalyst claims that the model now includes more greenhouse gases and better estimates for airplanes and people.
