They way you have environmentally friendly planes is by replacing them with trains. I doubt burning shit just to fly will be good for the environment.
Trains aren't the solution to every problem. They are slower than planes, don't work on water, and need infrastructure (tracks). They are great where they do work, but where electric planes work, there's no need to put them down.

let poo return to the earth. jets also. we don’t need poo jets adding to the crap in the air.
You're not going to stop people living their lives, visiting friends, family, and having meaningful life experiences. If we can make flying more ecologically sustainable than rail and boats then it would be a hugely positive thing in the fight against climate change.
To be even more doomer, people will have to stop living their lives when we run out of everything, so we might as well start winding down now.
I'd argue that private jets would have to be banned before I'd accept any regulation on economy flights to visit my family that I see every two years
