Celebrities are being criticized for not practicing what they preach concerning global warming. They are flying gas guzzling private jets and require fleets of SUVs for their vast entourages. Algore's carbon footprint is so large it would take a mile long convoy of cement trucks full of Plaster-of-Paris and thousands of Boy Scouts to cast it. He should be called Al "big foot" Gore.
We as non-celebrities need to do more on our part to offset the lifestyles of these invaluable do-gooders. We just aren't sacrificing enough to allow these jet setters to enjoy the high life guilt free. We need to do without heat in our homes. That warm feeling in our hearts knowing we are doing our part to offset the lifestyles of the rich and famous should offset any frost building up on our sofas. Just make sure you are bundled up with parkas and plenty of blankets and you'll do just fine. Do we really need lights? Since turning our TV off is out of the question, since that would adversely effect our favorite celebrities and possibly put a crimp in their lifestyles, we can use the glow of our sets to light our homes so keep your TV on and get rid of all those power guzzling light bulbs. We should limit our driving exclusively to trips to the movie treater or video stores because that too will benefit our favorite celebrities and allow them to take their private jets to Milan, and Paris, and assorted exotic locations. We can walk or ride a bike to work. That twenty mile walk should do a lot to take off those extra pounds accumulated from sitting watching our favorite celebs living it up. So lets all cooperate and do our part to offset their lavish lifestyles. Do it for the stars! Do it for the planet! It's all up to you. If you are a celebrity you will know there are millions of people sacrificing everything so you can fly that private jet 100% carbon neutral.

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

Is the hot air emitted by celebrities when they spout ecological platitudes a greenhouse gas? If so, then the melting of the polar ice caps just moved a step closer, following calls by Trudie Styler, a leading celebrity ecological hypocrite - call them hippy-crites for short - for the general public to eat more locally grown vegetables.
Campaigning against food miles might seem an unlikely cause for Styler, given that a tribunal last year heard how she ordered her personal chef to travel over 100 miles to make a bowl of pasta for her youngest child and has sold olive oil and honey from her Tuscan estate, Il Palagio, 1,000 or so miles away, in Harrods in London.
So it was hardly surprising that an alert journalist present at the lecture, which was being staged as part of the Earls Court Real Food Festival, had the wit to question the environmental record of Styler and her husband Sting.
The couple's carbon footprint, the impertinent ink-stained wretch pointed out, has been estimated at 30 times greater than the average Briton's. How did Styler and Sting - who have seven homes - square that with their environmental crusading?
Styler conceded that as Sting "has a 750-person crew to bring around the world, it is a difficult challenge".
Her rare moment of ecological candour was shortly replaced by the more familiar self-congratulation and justification, however.
"I would like to think that we both work pretty hard for the rights of indigenous people and for the rights of conservation of the Amazon rainforest, but we do need to get around," she said.
Of course, Sting and Trudie's "do as I say not as I do" approach to the dilemma of environmental pollution is by no means unusual among the carbon-guzzling lifestyle of the celebrity elite.
Here's a roll call of some other startlingly hippy-critical celebrities:
