UnTreeHugger: Spice Up Your Carbon Footprint

If you wanna be their lovers, you gotta score their friends some jets. Now that the erstwhile Spice Girls—Posh, Sporty, Ginger, Baby, and Scary—have announced plans for their globe-trotting reunion tour, we find out that Virgin Records is donating one Lear Jet for each spicy mama and her entourage.
Each Spice Girl, says the latest issue of the Natural Resources Defense Council's OnEarth, will earn $25 million, while all five jets will generate a whopping 47,500 tons of carbon dioxide. We don't know about you, but that's SO not girl power. ::OnEarth

How would this compare to using one single bigger jet for everyone onboard?
more worryingly it means that the likelihood of wiping out all 5 spice girls in one tragic air accident is much lower.....
More useless celebrities.Why do you post this?Put up something useful.
I couldn't have put it better myself.

Bravo completely agree.
ooh but i love the spice girls!!! girl power 4 ever.
What did you expect from them?
Stupidity rules..... :(
Aren't they supposed to be a band? If they have to travel separately because they can't stand to be around each other for a whatever-hour-long flight to their next gig, how much of a band can they really be?
This is like (thankfully-former) President Bush firing up Air Force One so he can be seen reading to a bunch of kids in some elementary school while the world is crumbling around him. The man racked up more frequent flier miles than any president in U.S. history, but I'd be at a loss to point to any thing, other than getting re-"elected" in 2004, that he accomplished while on these endless PR tours. I would love to have seen a YouTube clip of one of those kids asking him, "shouldn't you be in Washington, Mr. President?" Maybe if he had been in his office when Hurricane Katrina made landfall, the response to it wouldn't have been so farked up.
