International Air Freight to protect the environment

Global warming is not something you debate for a while 'and forget. It 'became a reality and all the giant's leading companies are slowly waking up to the world that, if not do something, this is not going better.

International companies of air cargo worldwide, has contributed about 7% to the total carbon emissions measured in 2006, which put pressure on them to do something about the problem. It 's time that any airline cargo shipping freight and cargo airline is committed to work for and not against the environment.

The International Society of Air freight is at the center of controversy for environmental protection, have announced they have agreed and which will enter into an agreement to contribute compulsorily for projects that protect the environment worldwide.

The amount that is allocated for this purpose has not been resolved, even if the agreement provides that should be proportionate to the number of freight services that each airline provides cargo. Europe has organized and led its efforts through the Kyoto Protocol, which states that the participating countries have committed to reducing carbon emissions by 2012. USA was conspicuous by his absence at this historic event.

It is encouraging to know that the international air freight companies, which constitute a large part of global mega companies are finally taking things seriously environmental. However, is this enough?

Many believe it would be much better if each of these major and minor cargo airlines have pledged to control the level of pollution they emit and to set strict rules against pollution. This would have a ripple effect in the control of carbon emissions as the demand for air freight is growing.

Today, what is required by international aviation companies is not a dispensation for green projects, but a direct approach to the heart and committed to see that there is no further damage to already suffering environment. While the agreement to set aside a percentage of total revenue for environmental projects is definitely a step in the right direction, we expect much more from the companies air cargo worldwide.

As the use and the need for airlines cargo is on the rise, unless there is a concerted effort to make changes inside and outside of the operational areas, there is little hope for our planet. Pacts, such as the Kyoto Protocol, are a wonderful way to show how these mammoth companies are doing to the care and "green earth" objective .......
