Dai only travels with people who are travelling anyway so he doesn't create any extra carbon. If he did this would be how much damage he'd done to the environemnet. Find out about how much carbon flying around the world creates by CLICKING HERE
STOP PRESS:
If you add up the total distance that Dai has travelled and measured it in a straight line, he has just got to the moon and he's 1/4 of the way back!
or nearly 12 times around the world at the Equator!
(average distance to the moon is 238,857 miles)
(Circumference of Earth at Equator is 24,901 miles)
