Has anyone done the back of the envelope math on this? If you send an employee across the country and stop them from eating meat, does that offset the environmental damage of their flight?
Cross country flight: .61 metric tons = 1344 lbs (https://calculator.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx )
1 hamburger: 4 lbs (http://www.businessinsider.com/one-hamburger-environment-res... )
So, one flight is 336 hamburgers (in terms of CO2).
