From Death Valley to the East End, Eco-Tourism grows into its own
From 30,000 feet, nature's sublime beauty shines. As cities reduce to motes dotting a vast expanse of wilderness, humankind's place on this earth is brought into perspective. The epiphany this majestic aerial view brings holds special significance for even the most casual environmentalist. But as puffy clouds and shimmering seas pass below, there is a sobering reality to confront: by the very nature of travel, we destroy the earth as we explore it. A cross-country flight burns 100 gallons of fuel per passenger, and global air travel pumps half-a-billion tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere each year.
