Hypocrisy, thy color is green

Being from a third world country, I do my best to care for the environment for the sake of posterity. I dont waste electricity, I dont waste water. I dont have a car and dont plan on owning one in the near future unless it's a reasonably-priced, reasonably powered vehicle that runs on cow piss and would last for years. I do my best, really. But then I turn on the news and see this.

A survey of travel habits has revealed that the most environmentally conscious people are also the biggest polluters.

Forget guys like Travolta, or Gore, or Madonna. We know theyre Hollywood and couldnt be trusted to live a low-carbon-footprint lifestyle no matter what they say. We already know theyre hypocrites.

"Green" consumers have some of the biggest carbon footprints because
they are still hooked on flying abroad or driving their cars while
their adherence to the green cause is mostly limited to small gestures.

The Green movement, the global warming crowd, are just saying, "Hey, Third World! Take care of resources and dont waste them. That way there'll be more for us to squander. And those rice fields? It'll be better if you plant them with crops that you could turn into bio-fuels, you know. Dont worry about food. When you have money from the bio-fuels, you can import food from Africa or someplace. Progress, man. Go green!"
