Since writing on Travel Rants I’ve learnt about how as a consumer I can help the environment, for example, whenever I fly, I offset my carbon emissions, by donating to Climate Care, this money goes towards helping sustainable energy projects.
It’s good to hear that the likes of Boeing, Airbus and the Air Transport Action Group, along with aviation industry leaders today signed a declaration at the global Aviation and Environment Summit in Geneva to lead towards carbon neutral growth and a totally sustainable industry.
What are you doing to help the environment?

Happy Earth Day Darren,
I also just wrote an article on “Earth Day Essentials” on my blog that talks about some great resources, and my personal changes.
As far as personal changes are concerned, I have sold my car, and I walk/bike as often as possible. My future goals are to:
* Limit my garbage to 1 grocery bag per week.
* Recycle everything that has the potential to be recycled.
* Support local produce (BUT I LOVE BANANAS!!)

Like Phillip I am recycling much more than I have before.
Supporting local produce is difficult but I try to do that too.

I try and recycle but my local council won’t provide recycling bins because it’s too difficult to get the recycle vans down the street to pick up the bins!
