Stay Grounded

A sure-fire way to ruin a good holiday is to top and tail it with a plane ride that dumps huge amounts of CO2 and other greenhouse gases straight into the atmosphere. So stop jetting around and travel in a slower way - but in a better state of mind.

Wow so biased... Read from different sources before thinking that these trails are only chemicals. It's water (vapor) that composed it and it has this appearance because it was heated by the engines then cooled by the cold air. If you want to change something, try looking at the carbon monoxide which is far more dangerous at the moment simply because ocean beds are full of them and they are releasing it right know. Here's one of many examples you can study. http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Chemtrails

it's funny with all our technology, you'd think this idea wouldn't seem so strange - its cheaper, quicker and I wouldve thought that would be important to big businesses, but obviously not...

If you have not seen the documentary movie 'The Age of Stupid' it is a real eye opener to what can happen to our planet by 2055 if we don't bring current emissions to a halt (from rising) by 2015. Highly recommend it.

I'm a touring rapper and playwrite, and I choose not to fly. In March, we're staying grounded all the way to Cairo and back! Read about our mission on www.unplaned.com

We haven't had a foreign holiday since 1990..are we worse off from not flying anywhere...don't think so...kids have never flown and they appear not to have suffered either.

One excellent guide on staying grounded can be found at www.seat61.com. We used it when we wanted to travel by train from Ireland to Mongolia.
