I cycle to work 12 months of the year. The days I don't ride (in the last 6 months, I've taken the bus twice), I take the bus. Our family got rid of the second vehicle and drive a fuel efficient 4 cylinder car. We reuse and recycle. And I'll put my carbon footprint up against Gore's any day of the week.

We'll said. Gore should be able to set up a webcast of his speeches and broadcast them from home. After all he invented the internet. Why does he have to travel to world to spread his message when there are other more environmentally friendly ways of doing it? Also I never understood why he needs to ride around in a convoy of limos and SUV's. Does David Suzuki do the same?
