Environmental hypocrisy? Greenpeace embarrassed by leaders’ jet-setting carbon footprint

Check out the Washington Times article about the jet-commuting executive of Greenpeace and the hypocrisy it represents. From the article:

Each of Mr. Husting’s round-trip flights generated 313 pounds of carbon dioxide. He flew between Luxembourg and Amsterdam as often as once a week — normal for a banker but too much for many of Greenpeace’s environmentalists. The total cost of his flights over two years was around $20,000.
Mr. Husting issued a public apology on Greenpeace’s website saying he “ignored the voice of my own conscience.”
He pledged to start making a 12-hour round trip by train, but the damage is done.
In the Netherlands alone, nearly 700 donors have canceled contributions to Greenpeace in response to the news of Mr. Husting’s flights.
As the public relations disaster became clear, more than 40 Greenpeace staff members signed a letter in July demanding Mr. Husting’s resignation and asking Greenpeace Executive Director Kumi Naidoo to “reflect” on his own job.
