‘Green’ celebrities: Do as I say, not as I do
Ah, liberal celebrities! There’s not a bullsh*t philosophy they won’t embrace publicly, but completely ignore personally. Today’s load of bovine excrement - global warming, via the Daily Mail.
First up, celebrity pilot John Travolta.
WHAT HE SAYS: ‘Everyone can do their bit,’ Travolta said when he visited Britain last year to promote the launch of his little-seen Wild Hogs, and went on to declare that global warming is ‘a very valid issue - we have to think about alternative methods of fuel.’
WHAT HE DOES: Travolta, a licensed pilot, owns five private planes - a customized 2 million pound Boeing 707, three Gulfstreams and a Learjet - which he keeps in his garden next to the private runway. When he was flying himself back to the U.S. the staggering scale of his environmental vandalism was revealed when he landed the 707 in Ireland to refuel and it was reported that he was the only person on board the flying stretch-limo. In a normal configuration, a 707 can carry 150 passengers.
Next up, Brangelina…
WHAT THEY SAY: At first glance, it seems that Pitt - who drives a hybrid Prius, has been a vocal and financial supporter of a drive to build eco-homes in flood-ravaged New Orleans and last year even guest-narrated a segment of green documentary called e2: The Economies of Being Environmentally Conscious - is doing his bit to combat global warming.
WHAT THEY DO: In fact, Pitt and his wife Angelina Jolie are massive consumers of oil thanks to their addiction to private jet travel. In 2007 they took literally dozens of such flights between them around the world. In August, Pitt flew from Chicago, where he was watching his wife work, to LA to perform jury duty and then flew back to Illinois the same day. Recently, the couple touched down at Nice airport aboard their own ‘PJ’ - burning an estimated 11,000 gallons of fuel on the trip from America.
Gee, I wish I could afford to be that environmentally conscious…
