One-flight Williams
by Ed Beavan
THE Archbishop of Canterbury is planning to reduce his carbon footprint. He may fly to Poland to visit Auschwitz in the autumn, but, apart from that, he intends to eschew air travel for the rest of the year, a Lambeth Palace spokesman said. Dr Williams, who took the train to Rome for his meeting with the Pope this week, is following in the footsteps of the Bishop of London, the Rt Revd Richard Chartres, who gave up flying for a year. A carbon-offsetting scheme is also in place for the Lambeth Conference, to compensate for bishops’ flying to the UK. They will also be encouraged to take the train or share lifts in England. |
