There was a story on the BBC breakfast showB this morning about a sleb who is an environmental campaigner. I have no idea who she is, but am I the only one who finds most people like her somewhat annoying, patronising and hypocritical?
She openly admits to flying "for her job", but she "offsets" her carbon emissions. Aren't carbon offsets kind of like drinking diet coke, but still scoffing down cake?
Even so, she is on a campgain to "save the world" by encouraging people to only boil enough water for the exact no of cups of coffee we're going to drink, and turn off lights when we're out.
Why on earth should I listen to her, what authority does she have?
(Sorry if this has been done to death elsewhere!)
