    No, It’s NOT Easy to be Green

    With apologies to Kermit, what the heck’s going on??

    On the one hand, you have the International Air Transport Association (IATA) furiously fighting the European Union on their “Emission Trading Scheme” (scheme = Britspeak for plan) which would force airlines to cutback on their carbon dioxide emissions, or pay for it (this is where those “carbon offsets” come in-isn’t that like bribing your way out of greeness?). But wait, there’s more…

    In the meantime, the folks at IATA are oh-so-proud of finally eliminating paper airline tickets (or they will next year, anyway). According to the IATA, “eliminating paper will save the equivalent of 50,000 mature trees each year.”

    May Mother Nature bless them all.
