Speed Reading — Fuel-Tankering - Level 0 — 300 wpm 

Now do this put-the-text-back-together activity.

This is the text (if you need help).

A worker said airlines create extra CO2 by fuel-tankering. This is when airplanes have extra fuel to go somewhere and come back. Airlines use "fuel-tankering" to save money. It is bad for the environment. Fuel-tankering creates lots of CO2. It creates as much CO2 each year as a large town.

The boss of British Airways promised to look at this problem. He said fuel-tankering was "maybe the wrong thing to do". A flight from London to Italy puts an extra 600kg of CO2 into the air because of fuel-tankering. The airline saves just $50. Greenpeace said airlines put profit before the planet.

Back to the fuel-tankering lesson.
