LIZ HURLEY IS HOT
The Independent condemns carbon-chomping celebs:
Liz Hurley’s long-haul wedding has produced a carbon footprint so large that it would take the average British couple more than 10 years to contribute as much to heating up the planet as she and Arun Nayar have done in little over a week. It would take a typical Indian couple a massive 123 years.
A special study, by an Oxford-based footprinting consultancy, suggests the celebrations will release around 200,000kg of carbon into the atmosphere.
The consultancy, Best Foot Forward, reckons this is an underestimate. The couple are not giving full details of the festivities because of a contract with Hello! magazine, but last night environmentalists condemned their “conspicuous carbon consumption”.
This consultancy obviously hasn’t heard of the Toni Collette Rule: if you’re a celebrity, flying doesn’t count.
