OK, I am a convert. I see the light. I will follow the example of our eco-leaders.

I commit here and now not to use more than 80% of the energy every year that Al Gore uses, and no more than 70% of the amount that environmentalist John Travolta does.

Mr. Gore maintains a modest $30,000 heating and cooling bill for his residence in Tennessee alone for 2008. And, Mr. Travolta is currently in possession of five high power jet planes, any one of which uses more fuel than my entire family would ever dream of using. Yet, for some reason, we look to both these men for eco-leadership. Are we insane?

It will be a struggle, but with my 1700 square foot home, my heating and cooling bill will be about $3,000 this year. To get it up to 80% of Gore’s footprint will be extremely difficult. However, I can only try.

With leaders like this, I know we will, working together, eventually win this battle.
