One Less Burger, One Safer Planet
"Earth Day is a week away, so brace yourself for cuddly, hug-the-planet blubbering from the presidential candidates," writes Derrick Z. Jackson for The International Herald Tribune. "John McCain will tell you we must be the 'caretakers of creation.' Hillary Clinton will talk of recycling and efficient light bulbs. Barack Obama will surely tell us we 'cannot afford more of the same timid politics when the future of our planet is at stake.' Ah, but what about hamburgers? When the candidates tell us to stay out of McDonald's, then we will know their light bulbs are on. The end of timid politics is when they say that with the planet at stake, you must eat less steak."
