Posted Tue May 13 2008: from The Daily Mail: Sir Paul McCartney 'furious' after his new eco-car is flown 7,000 miles from Japan http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1210700346 "Sir Paul McCartney was today said to be furious after his new eco-friendly car was flown 7,000 miles from Japan. The former Beatle ordered the £84,000 hybrid vehicle to be shipped to Britain but the delivery instead created a carbon footprint almost 100 times larger by arriving on a jet. The Lexus LS600H produces just 219g in carbon emissions per kilometre.... his efforts to help save the environment were frustrated by the fact that the air journey created 38,050kg of carbon dioxide instead of the 297kg for the three-week voyage by boat."
