BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

 

If 10,000 Biters opt for eco-hand cream instead of the regular stuff, we'll keep the weight of seven flight attendants in questionable chems out of production.

 

 

 

 

 

COCKTAIL FACT

 

 

Until the ban on lighters in carry-ons was lifted in Aug. 2007, the TSA collected about 22,978 of them every day; it cost taxpayers $4 million a year to dispose of them.

Less than aroused by the thought of your upcoming redeye flight?

The Bite

Not if you join our club. A few lux eco-accessories, such as a neck pillow or bit o' lotion should help you relax - even if you're stuck in coach between a crying kid and some dude who keeps taking bathroom breaks in tandem with the girl across the aisle.

The Benefits

 

Getting comfy up high. Even if you don't get complimentary champagne and a personal TV, you can still travel in style.

Less eco-baggage. Per mile, plane travel creates more pollution than driving; opting for eco-travel goods helps offset this...a little.

Healthier globetrotters. The FDA doesn't regulate the ingredients of most personal-care products, so stick to ones that use body-friendly ingredients.

Personally Speaking

To combat the dry, stale air on planes Heather brings a mini-mister - and takes care not to shoot anyone else in the face when she uses it.
