The prime objective is to try and avoid flying (http://environment.guardian.co.uk/climatechange/story/0,,1877388,00.html) wherever possible, and to spend our money where it will stay in the local economy (http://www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/trade-and-the-environment) rather than with multi-nationals.
