That's besides the point. The demands people put on 'instant' is what's costing the planet its resources. If we're all 'aware' then someone else might be able to enjoy what you aren't and you enjoy what they aren't and no travel needed. Get it?

its resources.

A country that lacks of oil and natural resources but still tries and manages to stand on it's two feet is by far a source of inspiration. Regarding to the previous comment!, air traffic does cause a huge environmental impact. but never the less a country as fast growing as Jordan needs to handle these passengers. RJ is waiting for a big boeing airplanes order and the extra space is required. photovoltaic panels are very efficient and easy to maintain "Keeping in mind these panels can be costly to repair and to keep up to date since technology is moving fast in this field". fingers crossed that every thing has gone according to plan and no delays has accord in this huge project.

That's very nice, I work in Queen Alia International Airport, and I never knew that they had all that in mind! I'm really very impressed! Anyway, you said that the airport is expected to be done in 2011! Well.. the thing is that rumors have it, in the airport, that the The new QAIA by AIG won't be finished until 2014!! Thank you very much for this article, it made me look at the whole thing from a different angle!! Well..

Good use of resources and saving the planet at the same time. I think projects like these deserve to be praised more. Good use of resources and saving the planet at the same time.
