It can be said that economic activity leads to the emission of large amounts of CO2 which in turn affects global warming.

As introduced at 0:35 in the video, JAL’s CSR activities include the installation of equipment that lowers the air resistance of airplanes to increase fuel efficiency, cooperation with the atmospheric observation project “CONTRAIL”, and airplane engine cleaning for improved fuel efficiency.

Japan Airlines (JAL) plans to introduce Bio-jet fuel into airplanes to further reduce CO2.
Bio-jet fuel is an earth-friendly fuel made from wood and trash.

From 2:36 in the video, a charter flight using fuel made from cotton clothing is also introduced.
The recycling of garbage, wood and used clothes eliminates the need for mining new fossil fuels, which would lead to a cleaner, recycling based society.
