As I watch the Super Tuesday results coming in tonight it makes me ponder...and muse....
With so much focus these days on Energy Efficiency, Global Warming and Renewable Policies...

What are candidates doing to reduce their carbon footprint today?
An ABC article by Clayton Sandell reports that according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change air travel accounts for about 3.5% of the human contribution to global warming.
I understand the importance of candidates getting in front of the public....
but I also understand what is involved in politicians traveling, they are not riding on a scheduled flight but arrange private air...and secret service...and a tremendous drain on local public service employees ... police, fire, etc.
The candidates today are flying from state to state and I don't think they are carpooling!
I know at times the candidates are like naughty children who can't get along...yet humor me!!!
What do you think of the idea....
Of Dems "plane-pooling" with other dems
and Repubs "plane-pooling" with other repubs????
How many voters do candidates actually pick up with these last minute wasteful trips?
OR....skip the plane altogether and broadcast from a virtual network ...
I know. That personal handshake does so much to turn around a voter. (tongue in cheek)
It is interesting to think about it, yea?
**Thank you Acclaim Images for photos!
I think that they should hold the debates on the plane as they fly together from state to state--kill two birds with one stone!
