Oops, we helped ruin the planet

This is interesting, not just travelling that is sensitive to the local environment and culture, but also trying to raise the issue of global impacts. Good on them.

Rough Guides, and ... Lonely Planet after ... want fellow travellers to "fly less and stay longer" and donate money to carbon offsetting schemes. From next month, warnings will appear in all new editions of their guides about the impact of flying on global warming alongside alternative ways of reaching certain destinations

Now, I would like any readers who know of alternative ways of crossing the Atlantic to let me know. Seriously, if I go to America again, I would like to be able not to fly by jet plane. I would love there to be an airship or a boat ... teleportation would be nice but I suspect that's quite a way off [and likely to use even more energy, I would guess].
So leave a comment if you have a link to any purveyors of transatlantic travel who aren't using jet aircraft.
