But the biggest public proponent for this, Al Gore, is probably one of the biggest individual CO2 producers (I'll leave off hot air and methane) of the environmental movement with his use of private jets, lack of use of alternate energy sources, etc. If he wants me to take him seriously, he needs to sell 3 of his 4 multimillion dollar properties, simplify his life, use alternate energy sources, fly commercial and drive a hybrid vehicle.
Every little bit counts, according to the "experts." So why don't Gore and Moore live the life they preach? >I disagree.

None of this exists where I live and I had my Civic totaled in an Interstate accident. That is why I drive a Tahoe. >I tried taking the bus for a while, but it's really not an option with the >train/carpool scenario I have going right now.
