He has done a lot to make rail travel more desirable through his Virgin Trains franchise. He has also run one of his aircraft on bio-fuel. However the issue of bio-fuels is down as an issue for a future post on my blog. Richard Branson does quite a lot to operate his businesses in a sustainable way.

For example, I know Richard Branson had plans for a resort in the Caribbean (<a href="http://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/2008/06/30/mosquito-island-a-caribbean-eco-resort-from-branson/" rel="nofollow">Mosquito Island</a>) which was going to be self-sufficient for its power (using wind and solar energy made on site). Not sure where that project is up at the moment. That said, it still has a long way to go. Particularly concerning is Donald Trump's latest venture in Aberdeenshire.
