Does Perrier need to fly? No!

This week I have been to Germany on holiday. I felt a sense of mixed feelings in the return flight. My flight was Frankfurt to Tokyo operated by All Nippon Airways, a Japanese company. When I was served drink on the airplane, I asked a cabin attendant if she has German beer. The answer was "No", because all the drinks were loaded onto the aircraft at Tokyo. Then I ordered a cup of sparkling water insted. She gave me a can of water with a plastic cup, but the thing is the can was Perrier, a brand of bottled mineral water made from a spring in France! As Jpanese letters were written on the can, it must have been packed in Japan. It was a real let down. Why did the company load with French water in Japan, but not with German beer in Germany? The airplane flew from Germany to Japan. While drinking Perrier on the flight I thought how many miles this Perrier had been transported. The water had travelled from France to Japan, Japan to Germany. It would be at least 12,000 miles! It's definitely a waste of fuel and unnecessary. According to lonelyplanet's column, two people taking a return flight between Europe and the US costs an average household's fuel consumption over a whole year. I think water should be loaded at the place the aircraft takes off. Indeed fuel efficiency is important, but we should avoid unnecessary transportation. We can shift our perception from "use" to "do not use" as long as it's unnecessary. It would be the most effective way to survive global warming and a real life with frugality. It won't be so bad after all.
