An environmentalist with an axe

Why is it that supposed environmentalists have such a hard time living up to their words? Al Gore rails against carbon footprints, but has a huge electricity-guzzling home. Rock star after rock star champions the Live Earth concert a few weeks ago--and most of them fly thousands of miles on huge giant-carbon-footprint planes to get there. And now self-proclaimed environmentalist Bette Midler chops down over 200 trees on her property.

Walking the walk can be much harder than talking the talk.
