Imagining a Jet-Free Europe

The New York Times By Elizabeth Rosenthal April 23, 2010

A few months ago, the European Environment Agency set up a two-day workshop on how to proceed towards a more sustainable transporting system by 2050. Flying is one of the most highly emitted form of transportation, the main question was how europe would function without aviation than what we have now. There was a cloud of volcanic ash that was spreading from Iceland and ended flights from Britain to Germany.
Transportation by an airplane is so common and is so well known throughout that it would be devastating and almost unimaginable if there was a jet-free europe. Although, this had occured for about a week due to the volcanic ashes.
