GOODY TWO SHOES: We Are Even Less Amused Than We Were Before
You’ll no doubt recall the Big Announcement England’s Prince Charles made about a month ago about reducing his "carbon footprint" by taking commercial flights instead of royal helicopters and private planes. At the time, The Stiletto predicted he would insulate himself from the discomforts of today’s cramped and dirty planes by commandeering the first-class section. The Stiletto underestimated his chutzpah. His Royal Minus and a 20-member posse have booked the entire first-class and business-class sections – 62 seats in all, according to thisislondon.co.uk – for a flight to New York later this month. "This means their effective 'carbon footprint' is three times what it would be if every seat was used and the short return trip to New York will result in the emission of 24 tonnes of carbon dioxide." The Prince is crossing The Pond to receive the Global Environmental Citizen Award from Harvard Medical School.
