Alliance for Sustainable Air Transportation

Dear Members:

We want to update you on several important ASAT events that took place last week.

On Wednesday, July 16, ASAT co-founder Traver Gruen-Kennedy addressed an audience at the Farnborough International Airshow (http://www.farnborough.com/Site/Content/intro.aspx) just outside London, as part of the event's Sustainable Aviation panel. "Greener" aviation was an important theme at the Airshow, and his remarks were well received by attendees and representatives of major media outlets. The panel also included executives from equipment manufacturers, international airlines, the media and other air transportation industry organizations.

Read the ASAT press release about the event (http://sustainableair.org/docs/ASAT_2008_07_17.pdf).

The following day, co-founder David Hayzlett represented ASAT at a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Media Briefing led by Acting Administrator Bobby Sturgell. The Acting Administrator introduced David, along with representatives from DayJet, Helicopter Association International, and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, three other partner organizations that are working with the FAA to make NextGen a reality. Sturgell praised ASAT for building awareness with the states, the private sector, and the industry to help advance NextGen technologies.

You can find media coverage of ASAT on the Web site at http://sustainableair.org/news/in_the_news.html.

ONE PLANET. ONE DESTINY.

South Florida land developer Anthony V. Pugliese, III and Fred DeLuca, co-founder of Subway restaurants, teamed up to purchase the Destiny property in 2005. Destiny is strategically located within minutes of Vero Beach (30 minutes) and Orlando/Disney World (50), as well as within hours of Tampa, West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and two major ports. The city is centrally located within a one day drive of the entire Southeastern US, which is of great benefit to companies in the distribution business.

Paper Waste

Did you know that every year enough paper is thrown away to make a 12 foot wall from New York to California? Recycling of each ton of paper saves 17 trees and 7000 gallons of water. Recycled paper also saves 60 percent energy in comparison to new paper and generates 95 percent less air pollution. Since one-fifth of all wood harvested in the world ends up in paper it just makes sense to recycle and conserve this valuable resource.

Slow the flow

Did you know that only one percent of water on our planet is readily available for drinking? That's because only three percent of the world's water is fresh water rather than salt water; and of that amount, icecaps and glaciers account for two thirds. In a typical household, four people use approximately 9,000 gallons per month or 108,000 gallons per year. That's enough water to fill a bathtub more than 2,500 times! More than half of this usage occurs in the bathroom--from toilets (24 percent), baths (9 percent) and showers (21 percent). Leaks in bathroom faucets add another five percent, so the total amounts to much more than just a drop in the bucket.

Greenscaping

When organic wastes, such as leaves, grass clippings, food waste, and paper are recycled, we reduce the generation of methane gas in landfills. Almost 60 percent of the municipal solid waste produced in the United States (including paper) is compostable material. Second only to fossil-fuel combustion, landfills are a leading source of greenhouse gases. In 2005, 79 million tons of waste material was diverted away from disposal through recycling and composting.

Turn off your screen saver.

Did you know the EPA has estimated that using a computer's "sleep mode" reduces its energy consumption by 60 to 70 percent and, on a large scale, ultimately could save enough electricity each year to power Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, cut electric bills by $2 billion, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by the equivalent of five million cars?
