Question

"The planes pollute the atmosphere, but with a fraction of the ticket price, trees are planted to compensate for the damaged caused. Thats hypocrisy. Why is it like that?

Answer 1

Human beings continuously focus on using advanced products and services to ease their physical and mental stress by performing task in lesser time with lesser effort.

Planes help the people travel from one place to another place within a short time duration thus saving on time and reducing physical and mental stress.Like any advance in products or services comes up with a cost, planes consume huge amount of fuel and release gases that pollute the atmosphere while providing the comfort of reaching far destination in a short duration.

Hence, to compensate the pollution caused by planes and for that matter other modes of transport, we can plant trees that help absorb the carbon dioxide and other pollutant gases while providing fresh air.
