Virtual Flight anyone?
I've just read a press release about a bunch of 'slebrities' that have taken part in the first virtual flight in the UK.
This is aimed at encouraging people to jump on the green bandwagon and lobby Parliament to press for a climate change law. People are being encourage to 'purchase' air tickets for the virtual flights which turn into support for the climate change law.
The concept itself, run by Friends of the Earth, is a great concept in itself, and saving the environment is something we should all be concerned about.
But picking musicians such as Razorlight's frontman Johnny Borrell and KT Tunstell, who have flown between the UK and US quite a few times I imagine in a bid to break the market, is a little ironic. And it gets my goat.
I don't know about you, but I'm sick of these 'slebrities' preaching to ordinary people about issues such as climate change/global warming and world poverty.
They should stick to what they are good at and maybe not turn up to the opening of every envelope.
