Came across this article, "Businesses 'ignoring green travel'" in a recent issue of The Guardian's Observer, which suggests that while many companies have strict, eco-friendly travel policies in place, they're either overlooked or unknown by employees. This not-so-fabulous look at corporate travel is thanks to The Barclaycard Business Travel Survey that studied 3,000 British business folks on travel habits.So what's the verdict? Are there any globetrotters out there that want to chime in? I recognize that video conferencing doesn't always have the same effect when you're building business relationships, but I don't understand the large percentage of people who simply ignore green tactics.

Jessica,
Having worked the past 8 years in the corporate-travel technology space, I can truhtfully say that, while companies seem to want to "push" employees to travel "green", the means to do so are seriously lacking. Lack of viable resources, search tools and incentive programs stand in the way. Hopefully, independent projects, like yours and mine for example, will help shed some opportunity on the market.
Valid points, Joe. Thanks for sharing!
