You may have watched "Should I Really Give Up Flying?" on BBC2 last night. It dealt with the damage that aeroplanes do to the environment and in particular how they contribute to Global Warming as well as a look at the alternatives. You can find all the details here. Of great interest is the woman who rather than flying to Australia went by land (full story on this here). The trip took two months and cost well over £1000 but saved over 1 tonne of carbon dioxide emissions. Perhaps a sacrifice we will all have to make in the future?
