Farnborough is hoping to become the most environmentally friendly airport in the country.

It's banned the most noisy jets and is now giving all staff training sessions on the environment and tokens worth 50p a day if they give up their cars and use their bike or public transport.

Hundreds of solar panels and eco friendly runway lights have also been installed, along with a new fleet of electric cars.

There were 23,000 flights in and out of Farnborough last year. It is also home to the famous airshow.
