Wow. I wouldn’t have wanted to be the guy doing the motion capture on the Polar Bears.
Mike Harcourt, championing sustainability across the land, flew First Class from Toronto to Vancouver this weekend.
(Maybe he bought carbon credits. Maybe he did something else…still…I’m dubious, especially given that carbon credits haven’t demonstrated any effect other than in the realm of marketing to date.)
Yvon Chouinard, head of Patagonia, flies Economy. If flying is necessary, shouldn’t we be fitting as many people into a single plane as is necessary?
Week. It was this past week. Not the weekend. Sorry for the mixup.
