DESCRIPTION:In the age of cheap air travel\, flying to exotic destinations 
 has become commonplace. But planes are some of the nastiest offenders in te
 rms of the environment\, emitting lots of greenhouse gases into the upper a
 tmosphere. Our era of cheap sunny holidays doesn’t sit too well with incr
 easing concern about the future of the world.
\n
\nIs there a way to make a
 ir travel more sustainable for those times when we can’t avoid flying? Bo
 eing are building an airliner that uses biofuel to make its journeys\, and 
 we’ll have one of their top environmental strategists\, Bill Glover\, her
 e to explain how it works. Ian Poll\, an expert from Greener By Design will
  also be on the panel\, looking at what else we can do to make air travel m
 ore sustainable\, and where air travel fits into the UK’s larger plan for
  getting greener. How much can we improve current technology and what will 
 the future of aviation look like? Will we ever have an emission-free plane?
  Join us and see how designers and engineers are injecting a bit of green i
 nto the clear blue sky.
