It is very important that people are engaged in championing the environment. Concerning our participation: we believe that putting pressure on the leaders attending the summit in Copenhagen outweighs the method of transport. We prefer not to have to make such choices, which is why we maintain a pure and transparent textile chain. We understand that you disagree with our decision. But we sincerely appreciate your heartfelt comments. We print all the comments we receive -- even those that are critical. By the way, the fabrics we produce in Peru are shipped to us -- never flown! We do everything we can at hessnatur to reduce our carbon footprint. Thanks, Mark, for sharing your point of view. It is very important that people are engaged in championing the environment.

For example, I've met people in the local food movement who don't even consider the harm to the environment in wearing conventionally grown fibers. While flying the banner -- literally -- is a no vote for transport integrity, surely the message it carries is an important one to communicate to the world's decision makers.

Perhaps it's true, then, that the only hope are some radicals like the ones of Plane Stupid? This is what you get when you shut out more reasonable criticism. 'No comments' -- not.

Look at that banner: it is an AIRMAIL envelope. We all (should, by now!) know that every way of transport has a CO2 footprint, air transport has the worst. Unnecessarily air-lifting even "class B / economique" letters is a common malpractice around the world already. On top of that, that banner had been transported halfway around the world (twice, it seems) before arriving back in Copenhagen. This is not "for" but AGAISNT 'Copenhagen'. Unless people finally get that, there is no chance whatsoever of arriving at the change in behavior that is desperately needed if we want to avert chaotic and uncontrollable climate change. I am disappointed to see a so-called eco company blindly falling for such a hoax. The ultimate in stupidity — at best. Look at that banner: it is an AIRMAIL envelope.
