It seems hypocritical -- a 7K mile car trip from a professed environmentalist couple. And it is, but we prepared in advance as much as we could. By that I mean we downsized from a 5 bedroom house to a 1000 square foot apartment, to reduce our carbon footprint. We signed up at Ecologi, to do carbon offsets and tree planting that more than covered the damage our trip (and future trips) would do. And we will be selling our car, owning no vehicle for the next 5 years. We are also doing slow travel, to limit the number of flights we do per year. Wherever we can, we will use public transportation, high speed rail, and will walk for as many daily errands as possible.
Here's the link to Ecologi, if you would like to plant some trees, or sponsor some clean energy projects. https://ecologi.com/billandraine?r=603ba2dcc29aee001c9f7bdd
