Sorry to disappoint you.
Your "environmental damage" is totally invisible, and even unlikely.
The CO2 fiction is being discredited more and more.
So is the "global warming" fiction.
If anything, your flight may do some good, because high-level persisting jet contrails add a small amount to the earth cloud cover, keeping down the temperature variations.
Go and see your wife. Human relations far outweigh the "Save the Planet" fictions.
