Since we have all become environment-centric people, businesses have stepped in to claim that they too are thinking about the world, now it seems even the biggest airlines are trying to get publicity, think I lie? A Virgin Atlantic jumbo jet has flown between London’s Heathrow and Amsterdam using fuel derived from a mixture of Brazilian babassu nuts and coconuts. I almost feel like the worlds attempting to play celebrity survivor. Will this new mix of fuel make a difference? No it won’t since babassu nuts need to be from a mature plantation so well be planting a forest full to sustain a fraction of our usage and that means…. Cutting down trees therefore less carbon is absorbed and less oxygen produced don’t seem very smart to me. I’m leaning on the side of publicity stunt anyone else?
