One of our news stories today mentioned Campaign for Better Transport, an organisation that speaks out against "excessive flying" and encourages individuals to reduce their carbon footprints.
I was amused to read that the president of Campaign for Better Transport is travel presenter (and comedian) Michael Palin.
Although Palin is a supporter of 'greener' forms of transport, especially rail, he must have one of the largest carbon footprints in the history of humanity – having travelled around the world, from the North to the South Pole, around the rim of the Pacific Ocean, and through the Sahara and the Himalayas – to name just some of his adventures.

Ah, but he does it so we won't have to.
Plus, how nice to discover you meant Michael...
Yes, I've had a post with 'McCain' in the title and a post with 'Palin' in the title recently – and neither has been about the politicians. I just need to work how to smuggle an 'Obama' in. Oh, and 'Biden' I suppose.
