# Use of {country.possessive} private jets{location} | ||
|
||
Between {from_date} and {to_date}, {country.possessive} private jets{location} emitted | ||
{emissions_tons.claim} tons of CO2e[^1], or what **{citizen_years.claim} {country.plural}** emit in a year[^2]. | ||
{number_of_private_jets.claim} private jets alone[^3] jeopardize the efforts of millions | ||
of {country.plural} that every day act to reduce their emissions. | ||
|
||
Of these, | ||
* {number_of_legs_less_300km} trips were less than 300 km[^4] and could have been replaced by | ||
a limusine or first class train ticket, which would have emitted ~17x less CO2[^5]. | ||
* {number_of_legs_more_300km} trips[^4] could have been replaced by | ||
a first class ticket on a commercial aircraft, which would have emitted | ||
~{ratio_commercial_300km}x less CO2[^1]. | ||
|
||
The use of private jets by billionaires and large companies alike is an insult | ||
to {country.plural} and {country.possessive} companies alike that are doing everything they can | ||
to reduce emissions. | ||
|
||
> Ban private jets _now_ | ||
