...that make travelling not eco-good.
It's the disposable diapers. And the non-local packaged snack food. And the duplicates of things you buy because its predecessor was left on a train. And the cheap little toys (probably made in China and enhanced with extra lead) you buy before you go because your child's current batch don't hold her attention for long enough and you can't pack enough of them in a carry-on. And the plastic bags you use to keep your shampoo separate from your sippy cups and your aforementioned little toys all together and findable in your carry-on, and the little tiny containers you buy because the asinine security regulations on planes require everything to be in bottles of 100ml or less. And the teensy little plastic containers that keep all your airplane food separate, plus the plastic packaging required individually for your knife, fork, spoon, napkin, sugar, cream-substitute (barf), plus the larger bag that holds all those little bags together, plus the bag they give you to put all the bits in when you're done. Or, if you're on one of those discount airlines (cough easyJet cough) that don't give you food, it's the plastic-packaged Marks & Spenser's pasta salads you buy before you get on the plane. (Those are pretty good btw.)
Yeah, travelling isn't eco-good at all. I have much to atone for.

I always find it funny about how the two clowns who wrote the 100 Mile Diet spend so much of their time travelling -- they thought of the idea while in a cabin in the Interior. I'm sure that they didn't walk there.
I'd bet real money that their eco-footprints are significantly larger than any random slacker who eats nothing but frozen dinners.
