Ethical Man is reborn 10:49pm on 16 Feb 2009 It's a great shame that you think you have to fly. Why not get on a boat to New York?

You can get around in all kinds of eco ways:
- you could walk (plan on 25 miles a day)
- ride a bicycle (you could easily do 75 miles a day)
- you could get the train
- you could hitch hike

How can you start an eco tour of the States if you fly there? Why not show people you can have a lot of fun travelling when you don't fly.
Pop goes my drinks choice 02:10am on 15 Aug 2008 I used to rally against cartons because they were not practical to recycle. However, it has become clear that as containers, they are the cheapest to produce in terms of energy. Producing a carton uses far less energy than required to make a can.

From what I've read it seems that these cartons are the most eco-friendly packaging we can buy these days, regardless of the plastic or the recycling issues - the energy is the bigger issue.
