I have a friend who thinks she's an environmentalist. I've witnessed her yell at a Chinese food waiter for using styrofoam containers. She also drives constantly (and way too fast) between her several real-estate holdings in different parts of the state and buys new clothes compulsively.
And then there is the Al Gore, creator of 'The Convenient Untruth', with electric consumption in megawatts per month at his palacial estate...
I am no environmentalist; I just do what I can.

Of course the original post above applies even to Al Gore. His energy use is but a fart in a tornado. If he vanished and all the energy consumption he does with him, it wouldn't make a difference. You would need millions of Al Gores to disappear before it begins to move the needle.
Al Gore's electric bill is nothing compared to all the AI gore.

I couldn't find a good place to fit this thought into my most recent log post, so I'll put it here instead. The curse of environmentalism is this: the world is big enough that you can't see the effects of your own actions, but small enough that you can see the effects of everyone else's.
