[sustran] Re: Examples of "green" airports?

[Pascal van den Noort]

Yes, as an airport enterprise building they do their best!And so they should. 

However the number of plains they attract obviously polute the whole environment. 

Therefore they can never be Green; at best they will be sustainable. 

Which is a very laudable goal.

They can become sustainable, because that comprises economic and socialo elements as well as environmental. Just green is a limited option that no enterprise should pursue. There should be a nice balance between economic, social and envronmental objectives.
