Where will you find the next hint of your carbon footprint? – Airline food?
Well, yes, pretty soon, especially if you travel by Thai Airways International.
Even as dubious research “threatens” mainstream research on global warming, people across the world appear all set to move past tea parties, and look at how they can educate their customers, train them and help them with information that helps them be more energy efficient, and possibly pay to offset their footprint.
Thai Airways International’s baby steps are of course the first anyone has taken in this regard. From the little that I learned by reading the article, it appears that the following two dishes have the honor of being the first to tell their partakers of the footprint involved in ingestion, digestion and the general hedonistics involved in eating them:
1. Chicken Mussaman Curry with steamed Thai Hom Mali Rice (13.6 kg CO2 e per 250g serving),and,
2. Green Curry Kiew-Wan with steamed Thai Hom Mali Rice (13.9 kg CO2 e per 250g serving)
Don’t be surprised by the large quantity of the carbon dioxide, since it does take a lot to bring food on flight and serve it to you.
Anyway, time for you to decide if you want to take the flight or be stuck running backward in a tea party…
