with the exception of first class,on short haul flights,people already pay for snacks or sandwiches..beverages are served in different ways,and both plastic and paper cups are used..water is still in plastic bottles...people may forgo food, but most at least want a drink of water or a coke or a cup of coffee or a glass ofjuice as part of their airfare..

Ever order breakfast at Micky D's with a side order? Incredible amount of detritus, mostly plastic, so lets guilt the great unwashed for flying 'coach' when the G whizzes are flyin off the shelves at $65 mil. a pop!
Huffington Post is huffing and puffing once again, whining about the world ending in 12 years all because of peanut plastic wrappers on flights
