The laudable partnership between Delta Air Lines and Habitat For Humanity is headed toward its second anniversary. Both of these fine organizations continue to drive public awareness of environmental issues. As part of its Force for Global Good initiative, Delta Air Lines has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for various worthy causes. Second only to its carbon offset program, in my estimation, though, is Delta’s close interaction with Habitat for Humanity.
In mid-May, several dozen Delta employees journeyed to Katrina-damaged areas of Biloxi, Gulfport and Pascagoula, Mississippi to build and/or refurbish roughly 100 homes. Even though their work does not impact global warming directly, it points to a laudable intent which merits our attention. Specifically, the public service announcement, which Delta employees made showcasing their success in advancing the Force for Global Good, demonstrates quite clearly the type of community spirit and camaraderie which we must bring to the fight against global warming. The parallels are most apt and I commend the video to your attention.
