Do as I say, not as I do!....Did I mention in a previous thread that I rarely patron the entertainment industry for obvious reasons?...By jove, I believe I did!.......

Dear Laura:

Well, so much for science. Let the celebrity witch hunt begin. Of course, it's not surprising the BBC should lead the way. Hopefully, Speaker Pelosi will not follow their example and turn Congress into a theatrical, attention getting pillory of the stars.

I really hope your site doesn't become another dedicated to sermonizing and name-calling by the self-appointed Moral Majority on Global Warming. Remember, when ever we point a finger at someone else, we have three pointing back at ourselves. Carbon footprints, indeed.

Hayes - It's not my intention to turn this site into Carbon Footprints of the Rich and Famous, but sometimes even I have to have a little fun.

Dear Laura:

Understood. Unfortunately, Nancy Pelosi and others may not share your sense of humor regarding this issue.

I have been reading some interesting articles lately about the effect of the food we eat on our overall carbon footprint. For instance, a vegan diet may have a lighter effect than a diet heavy in meats and processed foods. Water from Fiji, lettuce (mostly water) from California, and cookies from Holland are other examples of items which might heavily impact our footprint.

Unfortunately, my job requires extensive travel and in a typical year I fly over 100,000 miles. Since I am therefore relegated to a vegan diet consisting primarily of pretzels, peanuts, and Diet Sprite, I'm wondering if that brings my footprint back in line with the average citizen.

;-)

I wanted to tell you that I've been eating primarily a vegan diet for the last seven months, with a lot of it being raw fruits and veggies. And its great! WBR LeoP
