Additional Prerequisites

• This is part of a series of greenwashing fact sheets from Stay Grounded.
• Stay Grounded is a Europe-based network of groups aiming to reduce emissions from aviation.

Differentiation

• Groups of students could analyze one of the four graphs in the infographic and explain it to the rest of the class.
• In government or civics class, you could use this fact sheet to facilitate a discussion using the guiding question, "How should society incentivize other forms of travel to reduce emissions from the aviation industry?"
• Have students brainstorm other ways that the aviation industry could reduce their emissions and calculate the potential benefits to global greenhouse gas concentrations.
  
• This fact sheet introduces students to the concept of Jevons Paradox. Have students investigate efficiency improvements in other sectors to see if this holds true and apply it to the aviation industry claims.
