Great deal from Air Berlin for passengers using Air Berlin for their transatlantic flights out of Canada or the US. The airline is offering a European flight pass - 4 flights within their European network for $199 - this includes all taxes and fees. Really great price for what's on offer.

Was just piling more food scraps into my green bin and thinking about a report I read about airlines and recycling. And ultimately, how little the airlines recycle overall.

Here on the ground, recycling and composting have increased over the years as pollution and the environment have grown in concern, but in the air it seems another story.

I thought back to a report I read recently, and a feature I wrote to sum up the main points of it and it seems airlines have a long way to go in cleaning and green-ing up their act.

Recycling and the Airlines - What Airlines Recycle looks at the report that Green America and Responsible Shopper put together regarding the major US airlines and how they are doing on the recycling front.
