| On another note I was listening to an editorial last night about this Earth Aid Concert Al Gore is promoting now. The reporter pointed out that the carbon footprint of something like that hardly promotes reducing greenhouse gasses. I doubt the stars will be car pooling or walking to the event and I imagine the people going to the event will be driving as well. Not to mention the electricity required to put on an event such as that. He equated it to having a Nascar race to promote the end of fossil fuels in cars. I thought he made a good point.
I think my biggest problem with this whole issue is more that we are having people that obviously have the money to buy Hybrid cars and pay the extra money for the more "environmentally friendly" products trying to make someone on an average income just trying to make ends meet feeling guilty for their choices. Recently I heard a comparison between the new Toyota Prius Hybrid and a Toyota Corolla, around here it would take about 10 years of driving the Corolla around before you would break even in gas savings money from driving a hybrid vehicle. I am all for helping the environment but I am really sick of it costing so darn much. I also would like to see these big stars practice what they preach. I recently heard that John Travolta uses his private jet to go the places he needs and he is apparently one of the big supporters of cutting back on greenhouse gasses. Hmmmm don't think that private jet is helping anything.
