One round trip for two people from Toronto to Beijing produces about five tons of CO2 -- the amount an average Canadian produces in a year. Air travel is worse than SUVs when it comes to pollution (something I prefer to be in denial about, since my family makes yearly trips to Germany). To calculate your travel load (and purchase a TerraPass that supposedly mitigates your travel's effects on global warming by funding clean energy projects like wind farms), go to www.terrapass.com. There, you can instantly calculate the CO2 produced by your annual car mileage (the site is American, so it's in miles) or flight to anywhere in the world.
