Something interesting I read in the news today: myClimate is a small Swiss NGO that tries to neutralise the environmental effects of air travel, “The climate killer number one”, by taking donations for every flight that you take. Yes, you are buying letters of indulgence for your sins from them! 😉 They put the money into projects for climate protection and preservation. So if you really can’t avoid plane travel, fly with myClimate. The idea might be questionable, but the myClimate website has some compact information on the effects of air travel on our climate.
