The plane is taking off with or without me. If I did not occupy my seat either someone else would have or it would have been empty. The plane uses the same amount of fuel regardless.

That's just ignorant. Less people flying -> less flights -> less pollution and less consumption of kerosin.

Tokyo's Narita airport handled 40 million passengers last year, 33 million of them on international flights. If half of them should decide not to fly anymore, probably 40% to 50% of the flights would be canceled instead of keeping the frequency and sending the planes only with half of the passengers.

 

Ok good luck convincing 20 million people not to fly anymore. Especially from an island nation. I believe in you!
