Latvia flight

I know all the reasons not to take short flights ... still I took one ... 'history will be my judge' [Blair used that one, I thought I'd try it myself, feels crap] ... from Liverpool John Lennon airport. Have to admit that if we are going to have short flights, then packing people in the way Ryanair does at least means you are getting better fuel use per person per mile ... however it is encouraging more travel by air, and that cannot help whichever way you look at it, fixing global warming agents straight into the upper atmosphere is bad news. On a more hopeful note, I know of a fantastic Nepalese tree planting project, intiated in West Yorkshire ... offsetting flights with tree planting may help long term.
