I do recycle, but I also fly abroad. Last January I went to Goa, on our flight back we had an extended stop in Dubai due to a broken gadget inside the plane. Cool for everyone having flight fear, btw, including yours truly. During the 3 hour delay the pilot entertained us by delivering some unpleasant facts. During the three hour flight from Goa to Dubai the plane had consumed 15 000 liters of plane petrol! From Dubai to Helsinki it took 9 hours. 45 000 liters.

For what: 300 Finnish tourists had been entertaining themselves in an exotic place.

I still put organic waste into the intended bin, the used batteries as well and so on... but in comparison to the amount of fuel my fat ass drank from Finland to India and back - oh well.
