Perhaps the simplest way of understanding globalisation is to see it in terms of the movement of people, things and information. It’s been building since the Age of Discovery in the Elizabethan era and has culminated today in the immense and complex network of global communications; from aviation to ZNet. Such mass movement demands energy and, as we are all now so very well aware, energy consumption is the prime factor in the production of CO2 (amongst other emissions) meaning that how we move, where we move and what we move has a signifi cant impact on climate change and the environment as a whole. In this issue, kindly sponsored by the Co-operative Insurance Services, you’ll fi nd plenty of up-to-the minute information on just about everything you could wish to know about making your travel more sustainable. Car-sharing, a guide to eco-cars, cycling, aviation, eco-tourism and the one that got it all started in the fi rst place - plain sailing. Enjoy.
