As we confront modern issues such as global warming and rising greenhouse gases, the concept of reducing our environmental impact is becoming part of our daily mindset. Individually, people are beginning to take the initiative to conserve resources by recycling at home, driving fuel efficient vehicles, installing compact florescent light bulbs, purchasing energy efficient appliances, and carrying reusable grocery bags. Meanwhile, the skies are growing more and more congested, and air traffic is handled in much the same way it was thirty years ago. Everyday citizens can deploy sustainable concepts on the ground to be more environmentally conscious. In reports from the National Energy Information Center, studies demonstrate that the United States produces about 25 percent of global carbon dioxide (C02) emissions resulting from burning fossil fuels. Aircraft play a role because the majority of the engines in the world today are internal combustion engines. Carbon dioxide is viewed as one of the main contributing factors to global warming, and that is causing the travel industry and many airlines to become more proactive about reducing their environmental impact. Boeing views this as a critical area for the future of aviation.
