BALPA, the airline pilots "union", are stepping up the greenwash in an attempt to counter the excellent publicity currently being given to just how bad for the environment and poor people flying is. Send them an email!
Mervyn Granshaw, BALPA's chief planet killer, apparently cares deeply for the Earth - so much so that he has come out of the shadows to complain that airline passengers are being made to feel guilty for going on holiday.
He's touting the usual rubbish that improvements in technology will mean we can keep flying, but implies that even if they don't, we'll have to keep flying anyway because aviation is "a source of social and economic advancement, equality and great pleasure for the many people who are transported to the corners of this beautiful planet". The guy's claiming that aviation is a source of EQUALITY!!! Tell that to Bangladesh you moron.
Please put him strait on a few points, by emailing him at
beautifulplanet@balpa.org
