In a bold move to combat climate change and, coincidentally, cut costs, Lufthansa has announced its latest eco-friendly initiative: the “One Peanut Per Passenger” policy. This groundbreaking strategy aims to reduce the airline’s carbon footprint by limiting in-flight snack portions to a single peanut per traveler.

“We’re committed to leading the aviation industry in sustainability,” said Lufthansa’s Chief Environmental Officer, Greta Nussbaum. “By reducing the number of peanuts we serve, we’re not only cutting down on waste but also making a significant impact on our carbon emissions. Every peanut counts!”

The new policy has been met with mixed reactions from passengers. Frequent flyer Hans Müller expressed his confusion: “I understand the need to save the planet, but one peanut? What’s next, half a sip of water?”

Lufthansa’s marketing team has been quick to spin the policy as a luxurious, bespoke experience. “We’re offering our passengers the finest, hand-selected peanuts,” said spokesperson Klaus Schmidt. “Each peanut is carefully chosen to ensure maximum flavor and satisfaction. It’s not just a snack; it’s an experience.”

Critics, however, argue that the policy is less about saving the planet and more about saving money. “It’s a classic case of corporate greenwashing,” said environmental activist Anna Fischer. “They’re using climate change as an excuse to cut costs and reduce services. Next thing you know, they’ll be charging us for the air we breathe on the plane.”

In response to the backlash, Lufthansa has doubled down on its commitment to sustainability. The airline has announced plans to introduce a new “Eco-Class” where passengers can enjoy an even more minimalist experience. “In Eco-Class, passengers will receive a single grain of rice as their in-flight meal,” said Nussbaum. “It’s all part of our effort to reduce our environmental impact.”

Despite the controversy, some passengers are embracing the change. “I think it’s great,” said eco-conscious traveler Lisa Bauer. “I feel like I’m doing my part to save the planet, one peanut at a time. Plus, it’s a great way to stay slim! I think the airlines should re-introduce mask wearing also, to reduce CO2 emissions from passengers.”

As Lufthansa continues to roll out its new snack policy, one thing is clear: the airline industry is taking bold steps to address climate change, even if it means leaving passengers a little hungry.
