Did you know that today, Virgin Atlantic and Boeing, joined forces with the hopes of making an environmentally friendly 'green' airplane. Their hope is to reduce fuel burn and cut carbon emissions. By 2008 they will have a biofuel demonstration which has never been done before. (more info, from virgin atlantic)
I think more airline companies should follow their lead.... Everytime I fly, which is about 3-4 times a year, I feel guilty.
In my Environmental Health class, we had to calculate our carbon footprint using a carbon calculator. I learned that with the number of flights I took this past year, I would need to plant 11 trees.
I'm glad some people are working on more 'green' airplanes... with the number of flights each year increasing, I think we really need to step up on this matter... Too bad virgin atlantic isn't one of my most frequently used airlines....
