I would like to suggest a review of transportation in a way that draws upon another topic in this e-conference, tourism.

In 2003 Planeta.com hosted an online dialogue on the Environmental Impact of Transportation, particularly as focused on travel.The conference examined how to "get there from here" without leaving an indelible footprint on the environment.

Participants looked at the environmental impact of transportation at local, regional and international levels. The complete dialogue is accessible to the public online http://www.planeta.com/ecotravel/tour/transportation.html

A collection of transport-specific links is online http://www.planeta.com/ecotravel/links/transportation.html
