Is Nancy Pelosi’s big private jet hurting the Environment?
I wash my garbage to recycle containers like gooey peanut butter jars and greasy chili cans. I drive a compact car that sits so low to the ground I feel like I’m crawling out of it. I combine errands into one trip per day so I can conserve fuel. My thermostat is at 67 in winter and 79 in summer. I added insulation to my attic, caulked inside and outside of windows and doors, installed compact flourescent light bulbs, use Energy Saving windowshades instead of pretty window treatments, and a host of other things. I’m not whining–I WANT to do my part.
Then I see our leaders and other celebrities in the news saying somebody ought to do something about pollution. Somebody else! They say there ought to be more laws to force me to do more. When the interview is over, they hop on a private jet to their next stop. Then they ride in one of their gas-hog vehicles to one of their three huge houses that must be heated and cooled. Shouldn’t THEY be setting the EXAMPLE in their personal choices?
Yes. As is her huge ego.
John Edwards talks of ‘two Americas…one for the rich and one for the poor’ while he lives on a 4 million dollar estate with indoor raquetball and basketball courts.
Politicians are hypocrites. Democrats, Republicans, Americans, Iranians, it doesn’t matter.
It’s human nature.
