It’s like planting a tree with every flight

Thanks to Evan Sparks’s aviation policy blog I was alerted to FAA statements that carbon neutrality is within reach of the US aviation system (article here).  This is a very interesting claim and while I haven’t crunched any numbers, questions I have is what is the scope of the system (domestic flights only? Or 1/2 the emissions of an internationally bound flight? Or just emissions from US carriers? Or, more simply, just fuel purchased in the US?)  I don’t have answers, but stay tuned either here or to Evan’s blog for some updates.

Extra points for the first person who knows who said the title of this blog entry, and what it was in reference to.
