Celebrity Environmental Hypocrisy

Monday, May 5th, 2008 | Environment |

Daily Mail - You hippy-crites! When it comes to saving the planet do celebrities practise what they preach?:

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 movie 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 customised £2million Boeing 707, three Gulfstreams and a Learjet - which he keeps in his garden next to a 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.
