The Network (Huff Po piece)

Posted yesterday on Huffington Post.
You may recognize this as a revised version of an earlier post here-- based on some of your helpful comments emailed to me (thanks!). Sometimes it takes a few tries to figure out what one actually means to say.

Incidentally, I've spent the last week traveling around the US-- in Baton Rouge yesterday, in Albany today. The difference in environmental consciousness from the UK are striking. I have to admit it's been a (temporary) relief to be driven around in cars again, to drink water out of plastic bottles, and not feel as if you're being labeled. Strangely, or perhaps not so strangely, you don't feel as bad about this kind of stuff if the people around you don't either. Which is the whole point of the HuffPo piece.

I did find it strange, however, that nearly every airline in-flight magazine I read this week had several mentions of environmentalism and the need to reduce emissions. An entire issue was dedicated to this on Sky (Delta's inflight magazine) without mentioning that air travel is one of the industries that will require massive overhaul.
