Environment
Finncomm Airlines has made many efforts to mitigate their environmental impact. The carrier utilises a very modern and fuel efficient fleet of ATRs and Embraers which reduce fuel burn and noise emissions. Finncomm commented that the ATR fleet saves 70,000 tonnes of fuel and 200,000 tonnes of CO2 in a five-year period over a jet fleet. Furthermore, when aircraft are at an airport overnight, they are placed into heated hangars to reduce the amount of de-icing agent used on the aircraft. Finncomm states that this action saves 300,000 litres of anti-ice solvents annually.

Famous quotes containing the word environment:
“Autonomy means women defining themselves and the values by which they will live, and beginning to think of institutional arrangements which will order their environment in line with their needs.... Autonomy means moving out from a world in which one is born to marginality, to a past without meaning, and a future determined by others—into a world in which one acts and chooses, aware of a meaningful past and free to shape one’s future.”
—Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)
“We learn through experience and experiencing, and no one teaches anyone anything. This is as true for the infant moving from kicking to crawling to walking as it is for the scientist with his equations. If the environment permits it, anyone can learn whatever he chooses to learn; and if the individual permits it, the environment will teach him everything it has to teach.”
—Viola Spolin (b. 1911)
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
