Zoom. Zoom. And more zoom.

Thanks to this video, my kid brother has now added flying to the list of evil and destructive consumer behaviours he refuses to partake in - a list that previously consisted of drinking alcohol or coffee, eating meat or chocolate...basically all the good things in life. But in all honesty, the video says a lot about modern day transportation. And pollution, if you can push yourself to consider the consequences of so many friggin' airplanes shooting non-stop back and forth across the planet. It's true that by flying on any given day an individual can pollute more effectively than by any other means. Yaay disposable income!
The sad thing about this video, as my little brother pointed out, is that a lot of people who watch it probably just think it is cool. Nevermind what it's actually showing us in terms of environmental costs. Scary, but true.
