PLEASE, NO SPOILERS FOR 9th-10th EPISODES

They take being unharmful to The Living Planet & All Beings, so seriously-

They are all sleeping in the same large buildings (unused sports venues & Etc.),

They started shutting down energy drawling buildings, when they were not being used,

Until episode 8, only made Vegan foods

&

I am sure other things, I just cannot remember.

Yet they are having individuals piloting large commercial passengers jets, where they are the only passengers & flying around the uninfected/not taken over individuals (with the infected one/taken over they request) in Air Force 1 - private jets. As at least the other watcher thought they are contributing to 'Global Warming' unnecessarily, they were not in hurry, could fly only full jets or better yet use different & better form of transportation. I responded with a simple & not complete answer, not saying it was wrong, that considering the airports & skies are nearly empty of passengers & flights, compared to pre-infection/taken over world, not important contributions, (I cannot remember the accounting term that is used when the evil Capitalist people use to say they are making a difference, feel a little gross thinking this way, but stay with me). In my defense I was waiting for downloading of 3rd-episode; only had the whole 1st-season available to me weeks ago (edited this because I watch 1-episode a week, have so many entertainment & political & Etc. series to watch, so only once watch 2-episodes back to back).
After watching the 8th-episode the interesting answers came to me, which I believe is most important & correct answers:
Since there would be probably a lot of jet fuel left, Can jet fuel be made into biodegradable elements, in harmless processes? I believe the answer is no,
From what I understand, correct me if I am wrong, jets burning jet fuel does not produce anything but H2O, while obviously producing jet fuel does harm the Living Earth & thus Beings.
&
Since there would be probably a lot of jets parts & obviously Jets left & unused jets parts for jets & jets (unless reused for some other needs or recycling into new needed parts & structures, like housing) would damage the Living Earth & thus Beings. The best use of both would be to continue to use the ones that can, a ton smaller population (I would love) & reuse, recycle those that just have no need for. I doubt we can reuse, recycle all those fuel, parts & jets, so what is the next step?

Storage for future solution(s), really never gets focused enough on & by enough people, in reality world, results in never finding a solution that works & is not dangerous & NEVER STOPPING THE PRODUCTION, contaminates the storage containers, which then have to be delt with,

The only thing I can think of is taking at least the parts & fuel in spaceships to the sun, to burn-up. Like the long time established same process for getting rid of nukes, nuclear waste & Etc., there is too huge problems with this. First is the long time established problem of what happens if there is a problem with spaceship-transportation out of our Living Planet & at least the parts & fuel are blow-up, back into our atmosphere & even back to our Living Planet. Even if the problem happens just outside our Living Planet's atmosphere, but within the satellites, then it causes serious problems with many industries.
&
Second is the cost to our Living Earth & thus Beings for the whole long process of getting spaceships out of the pull from the Living planet & into the Sun. Correct me if I am wrong, I have be educated that the smoke/end result from the space shuttles' engines is also just H2O. Again not to say the production of these fuels are harmless for the Living Planet & Beings, far from it. Plus all the parts &servicing which again is hugely expensive to our Living Planets & Beings health.

This perfect example of what I consider one of the hardest things about trying to be as good as possible for all the issues of the Living Earth & thus Beings-

There are a lot of situations, where it is extremely hard to decide what is the best thing to do.

I remember a few years ago on the show 'Rising Up with Sonali' there was a gentleman (cannot remember his name) that was building-up a website that gave answers that people should do under such situations. When I went to his website, I noticed how the website was too small in scope. To be fair to him, the staff & the website, the scope is unimaginably large.

From an environmental point of view, we don’t need to use no carbon fuels. We just need net zero carbon. I would assume that now all the orther uses of fuel have stopped, and the efficiency gained, using planes is not a problem. It’s still much less carbon in the atmosphere, well within margins of safety and planetary healing.
