Any stats out there to show how much C02 we chuck into the sky compared to the same journey by car?
That's a trivial calculation, at least in terms of fuel, distance
s and PAX. The thread is entitled 'how green are we' which is a rather more encompassing question than a pure C02 one. On just the CO2 emissions front, should a portion of the engineer's job related emissions be included for your maintenance?
And if your friend has an electric car, try working out how 'green' the electricity is that fuels it. That's a surprisingly difficult task given how the UK market is rigged and questions of additionality,

If you to use some distraction in the debate, tell him/her you only bought it because the previous owner flew it a lot and you're flying it a lot less
(A small chap who looks like a reject from a 70s cop show commented on a BBC2 documentary earlier this evening that the a380 is more fuel efficient than a car per person - clearly time to upgrade your B206! Oh, and Tesco are selling own-brand/GE CFL bulbs of many types for 88p if you buy three.)
