Ecotourism and flying 2 August 30, 2007

In a previous post I referred to “air travel refuseniks” who frown upon leisure air travel on ethical grounds. Today I happened upon this article, Beware of ‘greenwash’, by John Cossham, Community Care’s ethical living expert. John is clearly an air travel refusenik. After casting doubt on “carbon offsetting” schemes, the punchline of his article reads:
“Most so-called ecotourism isn’t. It is ordinary aeroplane-based holidaying which takes you to a log cabin rather than a hotel. It’s “greenwash” from businesses desperate to keep you flying. “
