What other way would you want?

Challenged in September 2010 to come up with interesting facts every day by one of my work colleagues, I've since entertained him and those near his desk with bits of information dredged from my brain. Some of my audience went on holiday and still wanted the facts so I started posting here, every day I do one of them, usually Monday through Friday, and the occasional post on the weekend. I post these facts here almost every day and you will find two posts on some days to make any missing days.

Today's interesting fact has to do with the islandic volcano, Eyjafjallajokull.

Recently this volcano has been delcared to be a green eruption.

The reason for this, is that the amount of greenhouse gasses it produced are less than the amount of greenhouse glasses that would have been produced by the planes that the eruption grounded.

It says something that the planes flying to, from and within Europe, produce more CO2, that a series of volcanic eruptions.
