Not sure we have clean-electric airplanes?
But I agree with everything else. Personally I recently used some calculators to see what my carbon footprint is and found a plausible offset for it (certified program through my utility company that goes to buying/building more green energy). And it was pretty darn cheap, less than 15/mo for myself in a 1 bedroom apt, a SUV, and multiple flights a year. Now a larger family increases that number, but nothing the middle-class can't handle. (I Also donate a ton to Wildlife Conservation Network)
I'm trying to do my part, but it seems meaningless without appropriate political decisions that would have real impact by costing our externalities.
