Saving the environment one critter at a time.
Handsome heartthrob Leo DiCaprio announced he will be taking a break from his grueling work schedule:
The actor plans to use his time off to focus on his other passion, saving the environment.
He said: 'I would like to improve the world a bit. I will fly around the world doing good for the environment. My roof is covered with solar panels.
'My car is electric. A normal person does not drive more than 50 kilometres (31 miles) a day. That can be done with a plug.'
Good for you, Leo!
We should all be as environmentally conscious and follow his example. A solar system for your house should only cost somewhere around $20k to $75k and an electric or hybrid car about $25k to $50k. What's that you say? You live in northern latitudes and solar isn't efficient enough in the winter? Well, then, you'll just have to get a wind-powered generator to supplement your solar system. That's only another $5k to $25k.
Surely you've got an extra $50k to $150k sitting around. Huh? You don't? I guess you'll just have to borrow it. Trust me, you owe it to The Environment to take on the extra debt.
BTW, the air temperature here this morning was -20F and the slight breeze we've had made the wind chill twice that. I'd like to encourage Leo to fly around the world at least twice.
[UPDATE]
OMFG, what a retard. Didn't that guy used to be a baseball player or something?

It was -12F here. Considering it was forecast to be -30F, I assume Leo had started his vacation around that time. But I'm not going to rely on that, I'm going to try the more effective technique of believing harder. (BTW, "independent" must be a misprint. I think they meant "low information" or more likely "no information".)
