Ecotravel (Green Travel): Back to Nature and Ready for Guests in the Great Plains
Back to Nature and Ready for Guests in the Great Plains Dan Koeck for The New York Times http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/06/08/travel/08journeys.html?th&emc=th By JOSHUA KURLANTZICK Published: June 8, 2008 OVER the past decade, as human populations on the Great Plains have thinned, many conservationists have seen an opportunity unparalleled since the frontier days of the 19th century brought towns to the region. Outdoors people, big landowners, travel operators and conservationists are now returning much of the Great Plains to its wild state, to a kind of American steppe. Conservationists are reviving native fauna and flora, and wolf populations are returning to the Yellowstone area.Green Travel: Trying to Lighten That Carbon Footprint
From the NYTimes: http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/05/04/travel/04green.html?th&emc=th Trying to Lighten That Carbon Footprint By JENNIFER CONLIN Published: May 4, 2008 IN February, on a chilly, clear Sunday morning, Sir Richard Branson, president of Virgin Atlantic, along with the co-sponsors Boeing and GE Aviation, lured more than 200 journalists to a hangar at Heathrow Airport near London to witness what they said was airline history. Over flutes of Champagne and plates of mini-bagels filled with salmon, everyone’s eyes were fixed on a 747 as it took off on the world’s first biofuel demonstration flight. Never mind that only one of the plane’s engines used biofuel, and that was about 25 percent mixed with standard kerosene jet fuel.Top Brands
