20. Airbus goes Green

In a world now increasingly becoming aware and concerned with environmental issues as part of their corporate social responsibility, a most welcome news is from AIRBUS, the world's largest plane maker.

Very conscious of their moral duty to the citizens of the world and setting standards and targets for others to follow, they are committing a 25% increase in research and technology from next year so that by 2020 all new Airbus aircraft entering the market will produce 50% less carbon dioxide and 80% less nitrogen oxide than the 2000 levels.

Remember these emissions, together with the deadly carbon monoxide from motor vehicles and other toxic gases from industrial pollutants contribute to global warming and hence to climate change and disastrous weather havocs.
