Hurricane!

If you have need big shoes for your carbon footprint, maybe you can lose some carbon weight.

Anyway, his email got me thinking. Planes are great for travel but horrible for the environment. Our love affair with intercontinental flights is having a massive impact on the environment and global warming. We no longer go 4 hours up the road for the weekend. Instead, we go to another country and occasionally another continent. The UK long weekend is not spent in Bath or Edinburgh anymore. It's spent in France or Spain. A quick plane trip to Mexico from just about any US city is almost as easy as drive down the coast - our carbon footprints (the measure we have on the environment by carbon dioxide) are getting bigger and bigger.
