pee before you fly

If you must fly, there is now some new advice for how you can minimise your environmental impact. As well as offsetting your carbon emissions, China Southern Airlines is encouraging passengers to use the toilet before they board. A single flush at 30,000 feet used a litre of fuel – that’s enough to run an economical car at least 10km. For more info click here

Presumably peeing before you fly would also decrease your body weight, and hence the weight of the plane lessening it's fuel consumption. Perhaps the next step is to not serve food or drink on planes at all?... It's definitely progresive thinking but I'm not sure it's going to be enough to save us from global climate armageddom.
