Delta Air Lines announced plans Friday to mount an ambitious 10-year strategy during which it will spend at least US$1b and become the world's first carbon-neutral airline. The carrier said it will launch the effort next month, which will include investments in green air travel technologies, methods to reduce carbon emissions and waste and development of projects to mitigate emissions it does produce. Delta CE Ed Bastian said: "It is our responsibility to deliver on our promise to bring people together and ensure the utmost care for our environment. Delta said its plans also include cutting its use of jet fuel, investing in forestry, restoring wetlands, recapturing soil, building green coalitions with employees and suppliers. <br/>
