Fighting Global Warming: A Contribution that Counts

The future matters.  And all it took was a little coffee with former vice president Al Gore.  Yesterday, our chairman, Sir Richard Branson, made a $3 billion pledge to fight global warming.  Over the next decade, 100 percent of the profits from the transportation sectors, including Virgin Atlantic, will be donated to the cause with the goal of finding renewable and sustainable energy as alternative methods to coal and oil.

“Our generation has inherited an incredibly beautiful world from our parents and they from their parents,” Branson said during his announcement, which was made officially during the Clinton Global Initiative, a yearly conference hosted by the former President for leaders in the business, political, and nonprofit worlds.  “We must not be the generation responsible for irreversibly damaging the environment.  We must hand it over to our children in as near pristine a condition as we were lent it from our parents.”

It’s time to go on the trip you’ve been dreaming about knowing that your travels will reward your children and their children.

  4. I think Global warming is a big issue and needs to be addressed properly world wide.

    I am glad to see someone stepping up and trying to do something to solve the issue. I wish him the best of luck as it’s going to be hard.
