Amphibians are an important component of the global ecosystem, as indicators of environmental health and contributors to human health. They watched the dinosaurs come and go, but today almost half of them are themselves threatened with extinction. Addressing the amphibian extinction crisis represents the greatest species conservation challenge in the history of humanity.

We are baffled.
The carbon footprint calculators make no sense to us when it comes to the calculations for Jet travel.
Lets run some numbers.
A Boeing 737 burns 800 gallons of fuel per hour
A gallon of jet fuel weighs just less than 7 pounds
In a five-hour flight that is 4000 gallons of fuel weighing 28,000 pounds
Or 14 tons of jet fuel
The 737 will carry up to 162 passengers. Lets assume 80% capacity or 130 in a typical flight
Here is what does not make sense to us:
That works out to 0.107 tons of fuel per person (about 200 pounds of fuel per person)
Yet according to their Carbon Calculators that same 5-hour flight produces the following TONS of carbon per person:
