Question

Determine how many tons of carbon emissions are associated with the 88000+ person-miles of air travel you trac

Answer 1

Well this is hard to estimate, but

(P)ropane: 12.7 lbs carbon dioxide per 1 gallon.

And a Boeing 737 holds 6707 gallons of JetFuel which is made with Propane.

so ~ (B) = 6706

With that 6707 gallons a Boeing 737 can fly nearly 1000 Miles.

so ~ (D) = 1000

Which Means:

(CL) = 6707 / 12.7 = 528.11

So in a 1000 Mile trip almost 528.11 Lbs of CO² is used, and to find 88k Miles we multiply by 88, therfore this gives us:

1000 Miles x 88 = 88000 Miles == 528.11 Lbs x 88 = 5809.21

5809.21 Lbs of CO­2 are releasd per 88000 Miles of Jet Travel.
