    For a transport company, the immobility of the SNCF (national society for railroads) is striking. The commercial brochure is seductive: trains among the fastest in the world, reliable schedules, very affordable fares. Paradoxically, the service provided is sometimes deplorable.

  • Carbon offsetting of a trip

    Carbon offsetting of a trip

    Carbon offsetting of a trip as it is proposed by airlines is highly distrusted. Replanting trees, for example, makes no sense. Articles explain how corruption reduces these investments to communication operations. And trees are renewable: they will end up, after a more or less long time, burned and releasing their carbon.
