Strange line in the sand for Leonardo diCaprio... He has pledged abstinence until the earth quits fossil fuels, which means he may as well become a monk. He said he's doing it to send the message that we all have to sacrifice to correct the environmental devastation we're in the middle of.
Seems like a very strange choice of sacrifice. I can see hunger strikes, or walk-outs, or boycotts, but abstinence? What does one thing have to do with the other? And how would we know if he is/isn't abstinent? Maybe wear a green "A" instead of a red one?
If you were a public figure trying to influence people to care for the environment and end fossil fuel/carbon emissions, what sacrifice would you make?
ETA: Oops! Silly me!!!! It was an April Fool's joke by Inhabitat and I fell for it. So early in the morning, too. It's going to be a long day.
