Airline Food Waste and Excessive Packaging
I had just "powered off" my "electronic device" for landing on a recent flight and was placing my tray table "in the upright position" while glancing around anxiously for a cabin attendant to relieve me of my soda can and little plastic cup. When she came around with a trash bag, I offered the cup, but she asked for the can as well, placing everything in the same bag. I guess they don't recycle, I thought. What's up with that?!?
Salon's "Ask the Pilot" column (one of my favorite features on that site) tackles the issue in its latest installment.
