Sheesh. We’re off to Vancouver for a week and it really has hit how completely “un-green” air travel is. Besides the obvious of fuel for the massive jet (though ours isn’t a huge one), the new TSA regulations are just awful. The silly 3oz - 1 quart bag - 1 bag per person rule is silly. That means that I have no choice but to use disposable cups for the coffee (picking it up after clearing security); bottled water (blech), again after clearing security; airport food (they don’t feed you on planes anymore - gone are the days of free meals and cheap wine) with yet more throw away wrappers and “dishes”; and those plastic ziplock bags. Ah! Big oil strikes again! When the preschooler is older, we’re probably going to bit the bullet and drive.
