Besides being almost completely efficient in their fuel (their emissions are more hot air and water than carbon), think about how it is in comparison of people travelling. Imagine if everyone in that aircraft had driven their car to their destination and/or then took a boat. Planes are great, and far safer as well. Hey, I think that planes get a bad rap.

It's hard at the big LA airports to get good views, unless you're in a restaurant or a first-class lounge -- but I know a spot in El Segundo that has some good vantage points. Steve, I guess I'm not willing to give up the dream of seeing all the places I've read about, studied about, even taught about. I gave up meat (even though I love the taste), but giving up jet travel is just not a sacrifice I am willin' to make.

I also strongly associate my love of flying with my father who passed 10 years ago. There are too many stories to tell but my favorite is that he'd take me to the old LAX when the planes flew much lower to Century Blvd. We'd do the "Wayne's World" thing and lie on the hood of the car and scream as they flew over us.

There's something so open ended about airports, the feeling of all possibility. I live very close to a tube station here in London, and the line we're on goes to Heathrow - even that gives me a tingle when i think about it. However, the impact we're having on the planet is in no way affected by our leftie eco-guilt. All that matters is the hard facts of how much damage we're doing by flying. And it has to change - it hurts like hell, but something's got to give (and I write this as someone who's flying to NYC then onto CA in January) - we all need to think carefully about where and why we fly. I've pretty much given up European internal flights - for touring now I do it a month at a time on an interrail ticket. I understand just have f-ed up train travel is in the US, but we have to start taking some of the pain. The problem with environmentalism is what happens when we only give up those things that we're happy to give up anyway. Something's got to give if we're to have a planet left to travel round. I only write this because I feel your pain. Few things excite me more than the possibilities of travel. I feed on it, my soul needs it, and I think that the collective conscience of the world has benefited immeasureably from it. But if we keep doing flight the way we have been, we're fucked. And look me up next time you're in London, whether you blog about it or not ;o) Much love, Sx Hugo,
