Lessons From A Volcano

April 22, 2010

Volcano Audience in Iceland

Iceland’s volcano and the  air  transportation chaos it created really puts in perspective  just how vulnerable we are when it comes to mother nature.  This brings us to a valuable lesson: it’s always good to have a backup plan. Ground transportation, and buses in particular, are less prone to serious disruption and can be an invaluable substitute for flying. In the past,  Nationwide Bus Charter has helped customers keep moving when flights are grounded.

Shocking images of the ash cloud that hangs over much of Europe raise another good point. While there isn’t much we can do to limit emissions of greenhouse gases from Mt. Eyjafjallajokull, the choices we make in our own day-to-day lives can make a difference. It surprises many people to learn that buses are the most carbon-efficient form of transportation (besides walking and biking, of course). That’s just one more reason to love buses.
