Kanye West Follows Al Gore’s Lead
Kanye West, who’s slated to perform in Al Gore’s Live Earth extravaganza touting global warming, needs to learn about shrinking his own carbon footprint. The hip-hop artist has asked a restaurant in Cardiff, Wales, to fly a chef and a meal across the Atlantic to a Manhattan business meeting tomorrow for about $4,000, plus travel and accommodations for the chef.
West is really just following Gore’s example since Gore uses 20 times more energy at his home than the average person, and flies around on a gas guzzling private jet. Gore’s tag line should be, "do as I say, not as I do."
Yeah, and Barbra Streisand tells everyone not to use their air conditioning, yet keeps hers on in ALL of her houses, whether she’s there or not. Does Kanye have shares in Al’s zinc mine? Has Al sold his Microsoft shares yet in protest to the lack of recyclable materials used? Didn’t think so.
