So I am looking on the bright side, optimistic about this opportunity to join the stars of Live Earth in reducing my carbon footprint. This excerpt from the Independent was particularly exciting:
"A Live Earth "Bible" given to all the artistes calls on them to adopt a
low-carbon lifestyle that they will promote to their fans. They are reminded
that a private jet produces 12 times the amount of carbon pollution of a
regular flight and are asked to make lifestyle changes. These range from
having more energy efficient homes to reducing their air travel and stopping
their chauffeurs from leaving the engine running when they are waiting for
them. Other advice includes using tour buses fuelled by biodiesel and having
an "eco-rider" on their contracts stipulating demands such as organic food,
backstage recycling and eco-limousines."
I don't have a private jet - or a chauffeur - or a tour bus. Good. So how about an eco-limousine? Can such a vehicle really exist? The word is full of Third Way promise, like "peace-bomb" or "e-typewriter". I want one as my humble contribution to saving this planet for our children.

According to a recent poll by that bastion of lifestyle magazines, Nuts, men who consider the environment and recycle and suchlike are sexier.
Sounds Nuts to me.
Eco-limousine? It sounds strange, I guess now it doesn't exist, but maybe in future we will have it, because this problems becomes more and more important in our days.
Good Idea, but how it will be realized?
I haven't heard about the eco-limousines. May be the invention of this one would probably a great idea. Technology is so pass and no one knows what can be invented in the next few days.
