This case is about individuals being responsible for their air travel and to some extent their overseas holidays. On the one hand, making an effort to reduce the need for air travel as much as possible, and on the other making an effort to compensate for it. In this case, Veronika, a Hungarian woman, asked GDI to calculate the carbon footprint of her and her family’s travelling, and to plant native fruit trees in order to compensate for it (while not assuming that if air travel is compensated, you can do it as much as you like). For Veronika it was also important that the planting of fruit trees contributes to preserving biodiversity, and that they are planted in school gardens or the gardens of NGOs and thus there are some additional social and ecological benefits.
