Fly Greens means less flights

I got read this interesting article on today saying about "flying green" to conserve the environment. And I feel it is better than the idea which the Australian Airlines (Qunatas or Jetstar) suggested. That is for every flight one tree will be planted.I think as that Author Ms Marianne Maes said, we should cut down on unnecessary flights. Although globalisation makes it easy and cheap for people to fly around and access to even the most ulu place in the world, we also have technology to let people do video conferencing or discuss matters online to people in USA, Japan, UK, China and other place which are far from Singapore. It is quite a waste spending $500-$4000 (for first class seats) to fly to China, India or USA for some boring conference or business meetings overseas, these videos can be webcasted online and if this conference is precious or restricted to certain group of people, you can make people sign up for watching and pay a certain amount of money befor they can watch. MSN and Yahoo Messenger are also great tools and we can hold video conferencing there also. Back to the environmental part. It is know to many engineers and environmentalist that airplanes are the most inefficient vehicles around. It burns about 12 liters of fuel per kilometer and burns about 36000 gallons for a 10 hour flight. Effieciency per passenger as follows, a bus has an efficicency of 330 miles per gallon but the airplane has an efficiency of 75 miles per gallon which is on par with a average sized car. So it is an good option to fly around for some boring meetings overseas which only lasts for two days compared to 1 week when you travel for a holiday? The impact on the environment by the carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides produced by the airplanes cannot be ignored for the millions of unnecessay flights a year... Although sometimes it may mean the lost of a client who want the presenter to see him face to face.

One of the main reasons why in recent years the Singapore Government has always ensured that their Miss Universe representative were of tertiary level education or higher was because of the following incident which occurred not too many years ago.

Kingkong_zee was a chimpanzee that was born in the jungles of Sarawak on 20th October 1985. Kongking_zee, his brother was born 3 years later on 12th December 1988. Their family lived in a cave. They have different personalities though. Kingkong_zee is a fierce and mischievious kingkong, and is very competitive in nature. Although Kongking_zee is playful, he prefers to play with trees and swim in tivers. Kongking_zee is a mild mannered and friendly kingkong. Kingkong_zee has a odd diet, he likes to eat durians, tapiocas, potatoes and rambutans. Many of the other kingkongs love to feed on the bananas from a nearby plantation. Occasionally he does feast on small animals like ants, mice, rabbits and wild birds. His ferociousness comes from the fact he has been fighting competitors like lions, tigers, leopards and other fellow kingkongs for food, he uses his wooden spear with a teeth attached, to poke into his enemy's mouth, shake it and they run away with a scream. Kingkong_zee hates humans, because he knew his friends have been captured by the hunters for fur or display in the zoos. He would throw stones whenever he see humans around his territory. His is very good in hiding, he would hide in the thick foilage of the tree or a cave. Kingkong _zee was indeed a well respected animal in that jungle that the kingkongs all bowed to him when they met him.
