Airport Sustainability

This is a critically important step. My only question: Why isn't the airline industry going full-tilt boogie on this? It is, given the IT capability today, a total no-brainer.

Beyond this, the airline industry is doing a lot at airports, as I found out when I wrote an article on sustainability at airports [PDF] for the American Planning Association. See also my post on Green Flying at my blog on climate change for the Foreign Policy Association.
