As a result of tourism and the increasing number of people travelling there is an growing demand for more flights. what problems does this have on the environment? what measures could be taken to solve the problems?

Owing to the increased activities of tourists and having quite a large number of persons travelling for different reasons, there is a spike in the need for adequate means of

air

transportation.

This

is problematic because hydrocarbon fuels cause global warming. To solve

this

problem, electric powered planes ought to be introduced to mitigate

such

problems.

To begin

with, the major problem of having more flights running on fossil fuels is

air

pollution.

For example

, aeroplanes fuelled by methane emit carbon mono-oxide, which tears down the ozone layer that protects the earth from the direct impact of the sun on human skin. Because of

this

, our planet will become warmer, and the harsh

environment

will tend to destroy many habitats of some living organisms.

Therefore

, controlling the kind of fuels used to fly aeroplanes will help to reduce the negative effect of warming

such

emissions can cause. In other to solve

this

problem, it seems pertinent to manufacture more electric aircrafts.

For instance

, the German AK-15 aeroplanes do not emit any unwanted gas, and if

this

is produced in mass quantity, it will save the

world

's global warming by 95 percent, according to a recent study.

This

is because

such

method of

air

transportation, which uses electric power is usually designed fully with electric components.

However

,

this

method seems to be beneficial to the

world

, especially as we tend towards green energy. In conclusion, the gradual increase in tours around the

world

by means of travelling via

air

has profound impact on the

environment

. The use of hydrocarbon aviation fuels seems to cause more harm to the

environment

because it depletes the ozone layer, and makes the

world

warmer thereby destroying the habitat of many living organisms. The best solution seems to be the usage of alternative energy source like electricity to fly

such

planes, thereby conserving the

environment

in a friendly manner.
