Eco hypocrites

More on the eco-hypocrites. Trudie Styler, Sting's wife, is particularly condescending toward others and their carbon footprint. Recently Sting and Trudie called for more "big government," and told people to get it together eco-wise. Check out these stories. The first one is from Times Online. 

Perhaps more egregious, because she is a much more in-your-face global-warming campaigner, is Dame Trudie Styler, film financier and wife of Sting. Not only do she and her husband run seven homes and travel between them in private jets and a fleet of cars, but in 2007 an employment tribunal revealed Styler was furious when her pregnant chef refused to travel 100 miles to prepare some soup and salad. (The chef had regularly made the trip in the past, travelling by train and taxi.) And Sting recently had to contend with accusations that the Police were “the dirtiest band in the world” because of the scale of their last tour and the carbon footprint of the fans who went to see them.

This spring Styler was accused of hiring a private jet to take her and an eight-person entourage from New York to Washington, DC, for the White House correspondents’ dinner, even though there are dozens of scheduled shuttle flights she could have taken, not to mention fast trains. Strangely, Sting flew commercial to the same dinner. When challenged, Styler reportedly defended herself by saying: “Yes, I do take planes. My life is to travel and to speak out about the horrors of an environment that is being abused at the hands of oil companies.”  

The second is a NewsBuster investigation. They call their movement a "green tea party." IOW, they want the tea party energy, without the truth.

TRUDIE STYLER, CLIMATE CHANGE ACTIVIST: Of course I agree with him not because I'm the little wife, but because, you know, we've been on this -- we've been on this mission together. We went to the rain forest in the '80s. We've been in a foundation for 21 years now. And really, speaking on behalf of the people who are in the rainforest whose rights are being abused and exploited by big business, it's very hard to see that. And we care passionately about all those indigenous groups that we've met and become friends with over the years, so that Rainforest Fund really fights on their behalf.
