Community for those focused on sustainable travel. Our society's current levels of energy intensive and frequent travel are not compatible with life on a finite planet. We advocate for long-term slow travel to see the world, and low energy local travel to deeply experience your community. Green washing free zone.

Shouldn't the balloon be black rather than white?

The "hot air" part was nonsense. Most aircraft are painted white (to reduce radiative heating IIRC) so it's not surprising that an airship would be white too.

Probably not helpful with helium or hydrogen filled ones.
