As a regular flier, I am very happy to know that Delta as a corporation takes interest in the environment. I do have one suggestion. I believe that I see HWGeek’s point about the unnecessary waste of paper.

With the advent of your new Internet service, which I have no doubt will be popular, why not cut out that weighty, ad-heavy, paper gobbling in-flight magazine? I rarely see anyone looking at it and it is a total waste of paper, not to mention fuel. And it serves no one but the advertisers and the publishing company who reap the revenue.

If a magazine weighs a half to three-quarters of a pound, and that is multiplied by the number of seats and flights, the cost in fuel over a day, let alone a year, to fly them is enormous. Delta could make a very positive environmentally friendly statement by being the first airline to say they were removing that waste of paper from the seat pockets.
