The head of Virgin has pledged to donate all the profits from Virgin's transportation companies such as the airline Virgin Atlantic, and his train service Virgin Trains, to fight global warming for the next 10 years. He said that he feels transportation companies need to need to lead the way towards developing, "environmentally friendly business strategies". The money totalling about $3 Billion will be invested through a new division called Virgin Fuels.

I'm writing this from the UK, just flown on Virgin Atlantic from New York to London and can I just say that the airline is one of the best in the air today and now I'm 200% more psyched about giving them my business.
