IT’S NOT EASY BEING GREEN

There’s a great article at FoxNews.com which lists the 10 Greenest Hypocrites of 2007 -- that is, people who claim to promote environmentalism but only as long as it doesn’t affect their own energy-hogging lifestyles. At the top of the list, of course, is Al Gore, who uses about 20 times more energy than the average American and destorys a little piece of the atmosphere everytime he jets around the world to give another inconvenient speech. The top 10 also includes any rock star who played at the Live Earth concert (this list singled out Madonna, whose latest tour created 440 tons of carbon pollution in four month simply with flights between venues) and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who claims that California will be “a leader in the fight against global warming,” but only as long as he can still drive a hummer and fly in a private jet.
