Etihad Airways has completed its first eco-flight of 2021 with a Dreamliner service from Abu Dhabi to Rome.
The national airline of the UAE released details about the flight to coincide with Earth Day 2021.
Flight number EY83 departed Abu Dhabi for Italy on April 17, testing product enhancements to reduce single-use plastic, weight and result in more efficient flying.
The Boeing 787 fleet is part of the Etihad Greenliner programme. The airline has offset carbon dioxide emissions for the special liveried Dreamliner for the entire year, an amount of approximately 80,000 tonnes. This is the first carbon-offsetting programme in the region and means that all eco-flights operated as part of Etihad s testing programme will fly carbon-footprint free.
Food triggers memories and takes us back to a moment in time long forgotten. Suddenly, when you bite into something you haven’t eaten for years, there you are, in your school uniform, buying a pack of smoked snoek at the Pick n Pay at the Adelphi Centre in Sea Point. As if it were yesterday. I’d eat every last morsel of it, even while still walking home along the suburb’s Main Road, pulling the smoky flesh away from the long, firm bones; to me, smoked snoek is the quintessential taste of Cape Town, much more so than a Gatsby with all its chips and the whole world inside it.

Today – February 11 – marks the sixth annual International Day of Women and Girls in Science, established by the United Nations General Assembly “in order to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls”.
According to data for 2014 to 2016 produced by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), only about 30% of all female students select fields related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics in higher education.
“Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are steering girls and women away from science related fields,” the UN site adds.
