If you care about your companys commercial success - you tanker fuel. If you don't give a damn about it, go plog minimum. The difference in terms of emissions, well - you could choose to be a good guy & fly ECON climb/cruise/descent at all times, looking carefully for wind/altitude trades at all times and drive a SmartForTwo (unless you already do all of these).
It's a shame if one company tries to hold a slightly greener profile and ends up going under due to extra fuel expenses. It's a lot of money if you fly between destinations with index 89 and 164 - even on a 73 landing with 7 ton vs. 2 ton equates to almost 1700 USD saved.
