Are we going too Green??

One budget airline in my home country is going to remove one of the three on board rest rooms and put in some extra seats. It is going to charge a fee every time anyone visits the rest room. I think the airline you describe is being really silly. Planes are bad for the environment and so lowering the carbon foot print in that way sounds strange.

I suppose we've all had a few times when we had to go so bad we felt like we'd lost about 20 pounds after we did so, if that feeling is for real and if it's a full plane I suppose it WOULD make a difference...lol! As far as holding our breath goes, maybe if someone is a "windbag" - Rush Limbaugh comes to mind - if he were to completely exhale and THEN hold his breath, that would certainly make the plane lighter... Gee, wouldn't you think they'd have reduced the weight of the planes enough by not carrying those peanuts, pillows and blankets that they used to offer? Annie

I would agree on that if I´m paid for using the restrooms before taking the plane.. After all, I´m paying for the ride, including the use of the restroom. JEEEZZZ!!! I wonder who is getting very rich when I travel. Now you have to travel with no clothes or pay for taking a suitcase. As you say What next?

This is definitely going too far.You can insist on using all things green.You can promote gree by using material which doesn't add to pollution but this is too far fetched.

This is absolutely hilarious! OK, spill! Which airline is it? I travel a lot, so I need to know which NOT to use. You'll know it's gone too far when they charge you for the oxygen! "Ladies and gentlemen, we will soon move past the oxygen belt. Please don your oxygen masks. If you cannot afford an oxygen mask, please prepare to pass out. We will revive you upon landing."

Yeah, definitely too green. The funny thing is, the polar bear population has been going up for 15 straight years and it turns out most areas on the planet have been getting colder in the past few years, and yet we all still insist that we humans are completely destroying the environment.
